Back to school means hitting the books. Personalize and protect hard cover textbooks from scuffs, dings, and other damage with a knit book cover! Inspired by gothic architecture, this book cover has easy-to-work-up texture featuring appliqued hinges. The stretchy cover creates pockets on the front and back to slip in loose notes.

The cover is knit in one piece, seamed together to wrap around the book, and finished with fleur-de-lis shaped “hinges” appliqued at the spine on the lower quarter and upper quarter of front and back outside covers.
