The Ugly Sweater: in our time there is no fonder tradition of the holiday season than donning some yarn-crafted atrocity meant to be fun and festive. And the book lovers of the world are not to be left out! This year, knit an ugly sweater for your favorite novel/ereader, your travel reading as you visit relatives, or as the best possible wrapping for a book you plan to give as a gift. Use this Quirk Books exclusive pattern to make your own!

Gauge: Gauge isn’t important for this project, but I recommend knitting a swatch with your chosen yarn and needles to help you decide on the best combination.

Note: The width of this sweater will vary depending on the book you make it for. To use the attached Christmas tree chart around the body, adjust the number of stitches between each iteration of the chart to fit evenly around the sweater.
