  • Exact stitch and row counts for Small, Medium and Large book weights
  • A worked custom-fit calculation, washed gauge and clear construction diagrams
  • Two flat-knit garter pockets, a narrow strap and useful fold markers
  • Fabric cutting dimensions and instructions for securely sealed weighted inserts
  • Pellet containment, gentle book positioning, cleaning and fit guidance

Good to know

Choose Small, Medium, Large or use the custom-fit guide. Knit the two pockets and connecting strap flat in smooth DK cotton with 4 mm needles or the size needed for the washed gauge of 22 stitches × 44 rows per 10 cm. Basic hand sewing is needed for the fabric sachets. Keep pellets and weights away from children, inspect every seam, lift the whole weight before turning a page and use it gently only on suitable books. Suitable for confident beginners; physical test-knitting, fit, holding performance and yarn consumption remain unverified.

Full Etsy listing description
Give your pages a colourful companion with Chapter Anchor, a book-weight knitting pattern with three sizes and a custom-fit guide. Two soft garter-stitch pockets hold securely sewn fabric sachets, joined by a narrow knitted strap that rests across an open book. The eight-page A4 PDF includes exact stitch and row counts, fold markers, clear construction diagrams, fabric cutting dimensions and a worked sizing example. Knit all three pieces flat with smooth DK cotton, then sew the sachets and assemble the pockets. No increases or decreases are needed. Choose a cheerful three-colour combination or a simple single-colour version. Practical notes explain pellet containment, gentle book positioning, cleaning and fit checks. Suitable for confident beginners who can knit, cast off and sew secure seams. Illustrations show the intended design. Maths checked; physical test-knitting, fit, holding performance and yarn consumption remain unverified.
