A love of knitting often goes hand in hand with a love of stationery, and every knitter needs somewhere to keep notes, project details and little useful bits. This knitted notebook cover combines practicality with charm, with inner flap pockets and an elastic wrap closure for tucking in patterns, ball bands and WIP notes.


Knitted flat from edge to edge, the main cover panel wraps around the outside of the notebook, while the inner flaps hold the front and back notebook covers in place. Firm tension and a dense stitch pattern are used to create a sturdy, hard-wearing fabric. Beaded edges, an elastic cord and button wrap closure, and a double twisted-cord bookmark add the finishing details.

Available in Knit Now issue 196 along with accompanying tutorial.
