Now here’s a Halloween project that’s equal parts whimsical and practical—the Free Knitting Pattern for a Flying Witches Bookmark. If you’re like me and can never have too many bookmarks tucked into your knitting books, novels, or even cookbooks, this one is a seasonal treat.
The design features a row of little witches flying across the night sky—perfectly captured in stitches. It’s a flat, quick-knit project, which makes it fantastic for using up leftover yarn scraps. Black, purple, orange, or even a pop of metallic silver or gold would really bring those broom-riders to life.
This is a great in-between project: when you don’t have time for a big knit but still want that satisfying finish, a bookmark like this ticks all the boxes. It would also make a sweet handmade gift for your book-loving friends around Halloween—pair it with a thriller or ghost story and you’ve got a thoughtful present.
Skill-wise, it leans toward the adventurous beginner or intermediate knitter, since it involves following a motif chart. But the project is small enough that you won’t feel overwhelmed. Plus, you’ll have a finished piece to show off before you know it.
All in all, the Flying Witches Bookmark is a quirky, fun Halloween knit that adds a dash of handmade magic to your reading routine. Small, stash-busting, and full of charm—what’s not to love?
