Help with size of needles for bookmarks!!

Hi all.. I have several bookmark patterns that call for a size 3
needle.. I don't have one on hand and I want to make some to sell to
make extra money since things are still tough for me and my BF..
Can I use a size 2 or a size 4?
Any ideas on this??

Knitters often find they need to use a different size needle to get the
gauge they want. Try the size 2 if you think you knit loosely or the size 4
if you think you knit tightly. Or try both to see which gives the best
results.

If you are knitting a sweater and it comes out 10% too big or too
small, you have a problem. But when knitting a bookmark, or even a
throw, if the size is not exact, it really does not matter. So go with
the needles you have.

My Boyfriend was able to help me out when he returned home later int he
evening...

pattern.. My first one.. And when I get a chance and have Robert figure
out our camera phones and the use the camera, I will send you a
phone...
