The Apiary Book Sleeve is a decorative accessory that can adorn your current read while providing a bit of protection during travel. It has an allover honeycomb stitch pattern, which is both stretchy to accommodate varying book sizes and thick to add some cushion.

As this is a companion piece to the Apiary Cardigan, the format of the pattern is the same and a row tracker is included.
