Crochet Book Sleeve – Free Crochet Pattern
Table of Contents
Hello!
I am taking a small break from making little items for the fall garland and sharing a pattern for a crochet book sleeve! It uses the cluster stitch to add some texture to the sleeve and added protection. I wanted to make one so I could protect the books I borrow from the library. You can use it for different sized books since I used a larger paperback novel to measure out the size.
