With this easy crochet pattern you have two choices - make your book cover with vinyl flaps, or use the included crocheted flaps pattern. It's 2 patterns for the price of one! Also included is a full size template and instructions to make your vinyl flaps. Why bother with vinyl flaps? Because they are less bulky, and I also like to stick notes inside that are easily readable - but it is your choice.

You'll need medium weight (worsted) yarn, a size H hook, and vinyl (if you choose). Book covers snugly hold a standard size paperback book
(7" high x 4 1/4" wide) of various widths.

These book covers are a fun, yet functional accessory. You’ll never lose your place with the attached bookmark, plus it keeps prying eyes from seeing what you’re reading ;) Makes a unique gift for yourself
or any book lover!
