Using a seamless construction, this book sleeve will be a comforting knit and a break from your longer projects.
Once finished, It can be used to hold your valuable stories while you carry their pages with you.

This pattern features a variety of charts so that you can choose your favorite or make different quilts for your books!

It also features two closure options: one as a button with a loop and one with a cute little bow.

Size
The sleeve will be able to stretch slightly and it is okay to use it with a little ease for your smaller reads.
I have been able to fit two standard sized hardcover books
within the sleeve.
If you are a tablet reader, it has also fit an iPad!
