A minimalist, functional and oh-so-charming book cover worked entirely in single crochet. Made with variegated pastel cotton yarn, this cover fits any standard-sized book and protects it in style.

I designed this piece at my granddaughter’s request for her “cat personalities” book — she loved the pastel result so much I had to share it with everyone!

The pattern includes:
• Complete step-by-step instructions
• Sizing diagram adaptable to any book
• Optional cat ear detail
• Gauge and assembly notes

You can decorate it with my heart and butterfly appliqués, also available for free on Ravelry.
