No Wrong Side Bookmark
This bookmark is knit with sport-weight yarn that is soft and drapey. To compensate for the silky yarn, the pattern is very tight and dense. The "wrong side" is equally as interesting as the "right side". The pattern also results in a pleasing arrow shape. Gauge is not important; knit to a desired tightness rather than specific dimensions.

Another beautiful bookmark! I just finished making one, in a mint green color. I hope to give it to my brother's girlfriend with her Christmas gifts. She loves to read. :)
this looks so nice and I'm trying to make it for my dad's birthday but I'm a rather new knitter and I don't know what the M means. (like knit is K and purl is P, what is M?)
I think "M" is "make one," as in add another stitch. You pick up the bit of yarn between your left and right needles -- the horizontal piece -- with the left needle, then knit into the back of it with the right one.
Lion Brand's Web site has a great illustration: http://www.lionbrand.com/cgi-bin/faq-search.cgi?store=/stores/eyarn&faqKey=77&language=
Good luck!
