Swiftie Bracelet Bookmark Knitting Pattern

If you’re a knitter and love everything Swift, I have the perfect project for you: the Swiftie Bracelet Bookmark Knitting Pattern!

As any dedicated Swiftie knows, friendship bracelets are more than just a fashion statement—they’re a symbol of love, community, and the shared passion for Taylor Swift’s music.

This bookmark is inspired by the colorful beaded bracelets we all adore but gives it a unique, handmade twist.

Swiftie Bracelet Bookmark Knitting Pattern

Using simple knitting techniques and scrap yarn, this project is not only a fun, quick craft, but it’s also a fantastic way to turn your love of Eras tour friendship bracelets into a functional item.

Embroider letters onto knitted squares to mimic the letter beads used in traditional bracelets.

Plus, it’s perfectly sized for your notebooks or your favorite hardback book.

Let’s dive into the pattern!

Materials:

• Scraps of yarn (any lightweight yarn will do, though cotton or acrylic works best for clear embroidery).
• Knitting needles: Size 3.5mm (US 4) or whatever works with your yarn weight.
• Tapestry needle (for embroidering letters and weaving in ends).
• Crochet hook (optional for adding a loop or tassel).
• Embroidery floss or contrasting yarn for the letters.
• Scissors.

Skills Needed:

• Basic knitting stitches (cast on, knit, purl, cast off).
• Basic embroidery skills for stitching the letters (backstitch or chain stitch will work perfectly).
• Sewing in ends and blocking.

Gauge:

The gauge isn’t crucial for this project, but aim for small, compact stitches that create firm squares to mimic the look of beads.

Finished Size:

The bookmark will be approximately 1.5 inches wide and 9.5 inches long.

Knitting Abbreviations

• CO – cast on
• K – knit

• Yarn A – End color for bead stripes (Yellow or Purple)
• Yarn B – Coordinating color for the bead stripes (Hot pink or Lilac)
• Yarn C – Light color for the letters (Light pink or Light blue)

In Yarn A – Cast on 10 sts

• Rows 1-4: Knit.
• Change to Yarn B.
• Rows 5-8: Knit.
• Change to Yarn C
• Row 9 (RS): Knit.
• Row 10 (WS): K2, P to last 2 sts, K2.
• Rows 11-16: Rep rows 9 and 10: 6 times. (You will have 8 rows in st st in total).
• Rows 17-21: Change to Yarn B – Knit 4 rows.
• Rows 22-26: Change to Yarn C – Knit 4 rows.

Repeat Rows 1-26 until you have enough squares in Yarn C for your letters.

For example, to spell ‘Swiftie’, you will need 7 spaces knitted in Yarn C.

Once the final square in Yarn C has been knit, work the following to end the bracelet bookmark…

• Change to Yarn B – Knit 4 rows.
• Change to Yarn A – Knit 4 rows.
• Cast off in Yarn A.

Weave in all loose ends.

Next, add letters in the spaces knitted with Yarn C.

You can use the charts provided for this or embroider them freehand with the Yarn of your choice (Black or dark grey yarn would be good for this).

Block the work.

You can add beads, sequins, or other embellishments if you wish to personalize.

A typical Swiftie bracelet might have names like “TAYLOR,” “LOVE,” or “SWIFTIE.”

In addition, you can also make them with song lyrics or something more personal from the Eras tour concerts (like the surprise songs).

Create the Strap (Optional)

• To make the bookmark extra Swiftie-inspired, you can knit a thin I-cord or crochet a chain that attaches to the end of the last square.
• This can act as a strap that dangles out of your book or notebook, reminiscent of a bracelet loop.
• You can also add a small tassel or charm at the end of the strap, similar to how we adorn our bracelets.

Block and Finish

• Once you’ve sewn your letters onto the bookmark, give your bookmark a quick block to ensure the squares lie flat.
• This will also help set the embroidered letters in place.
• Weave in all ends securely.

Use and Enjoy!

Your Swiftie Bracelet Bookmark is now ready to adorn your favorite book or journal.

Whether you’re using it in your Taylor Swift-inspired poetry notebook or a treasured novel, this bookmark is a charming reminder of your Swiftie pride and love for handcrafts.

Crafting Activity: Final Thoughts

This Swiftie Bracelet Bookmark is the perfect way to combine two passions: Taylor Swift and crafting!

Plus, it’s a fantastic stash-buster project for leftover yarn.

As a result, this would make a great gift for a fellow Taylor Swift fan, a close friend, new friends, or new Swifties you meet!

Moreover, whether you gift it to a fellow Swiftie or keep it for yourself, it’s sure to make your reading time extra magical.
