This book and Bible cover is so special to me. I created it out of a desire to protect my purse-size Bible, which had a cover that was slowly peeling off. I wanted to keep using it because it was a gift from my family on Mother’s Day about 10 years ago.

The cover can be made in any size, so hopefully it will fit the soft cover or paperback book that is special to you. If you aren’t familiar with linked double crochet, the tight weave is useful and versatile. For yarn choice, I love Dishie from WeCrochet. It’s super soft and glides right over your hook.

Margie is a very special woman in my life - she’s a part of our family and a spiritual mentor. She also crochets!
