This little bookmark uses just a bit of laceweight yarn … and works up quickly.

It captures just a little of the beauty of a skeleton leaf.

As of February 2011 I have rewritten the pattern. It should be much improved now. I appreciate all of the feedback that I have received, and regret that it wasn’t better originally. I didn’t set out to design a pattern, I just sat down and knitted a leaf! Duplicating it exactly is proving the difficult part. Hopefully the revision will be a more satisfying knit and much closer to the original.
