Knitted Book Cover

Wow I am so behind on posting! We've been to Florida, celebrated Thanksgiving, and many other things since I last posted. 

Well, for now I want to share my latest knitting project. It only took a couple nights to make, and I really like it! It's my first time doing a book cover pattern, but it was easy and I definitely plan to do it again!

Basically, you cast on enough to make the length of the book from top to bottom, then make a long rectangle that is long enough to wrap around the book (from inside front cover to inside back cover), bind off, and sew the flaps. There are 3 rows of rib stitching at the beginning and end, garter stitch for the spine, and stockinette stitch for the rest. The kind of yarn and needle size is flexible.
