This is a recipe for making a book blanket. The concept is to choose yarn colors that match the book cover art and knit one square for every book you read.

Since this a great project for using up leftovers from your stash, the recipe includes instructions to calculate for any weight and gauge. For best results, use the same weight and gauge for the entire blanket.

Each square is worked in garter stitch with decreases placed along the center to create a mitered effect. The blanket can be worked modularly, meaning that subsequent squares are picked up and knit from the edges of the existing squares.
