Reed Book Cover Crochet Pattern + Video | Made to Measure, Fits Any Book | Easy Lace Stitch | PDF

Reed Book Cover

A book cover that fits whatever you're reading right now, no size chart required. You take two quick measurements, do a little easy math, and you're off. The whole thing works up as one flat rectangle in the Reed Crossover Stitch, then folds in at each end into snug pockets that grip the front and back covers and hold everything put. The spine stays open, so your book slides in and out without a fuss.

Reading something standard? The included chart does the math for you. Mass market paperback, trade paperback, hardcover novel, large nonfiction, or an average Bible all have a ready made starting chain and row count, so you can skip the measuring and just chain and go. For the books that travel with you, there's an optional Tunisian carrying strap and a button closure too.
