The Bubbling Cauldron Book Cover uses the Bramble stitch to create a textured surface, reminiscent of bubbling potions in your favourite spooky stories.

Aimed at adventurous beginners, this is the perfect pattern to try new knitting skills, including purling stitches together and increasing into the same stitch.

Including instructions to customise the book cover to fit your own books, feel confident using your gauge swatch to try out some knitting maths for the first time.
