A crochet book sleeve made using the classic granny stitch is a charming and practical way to protect your favorite reads from life’s everyday wear and tear—think bent covers, dog-eared pages, coffee spills, and that mysterious bag fuzz that always finds its way between the pages. This project is not only beginner-friendly but also a wonderfully customizable make, as it’s more of a flexible guide than a strict pattern. The idea is simple: crochet a one-piece granny square large enough to wrap snugly around your chosen book or Kindle, then fold and seam the sides to create a cozy, padded pouch. You can even add a simple button flap, drawstring, or zipper closure if you’re feeling extra crafty. The granny stitch adds a delightful, vintage texture and works up quickly, especially if you’re diving into your stash of leftover yarns or color-coordinating mini skeins. It’s an ideal handmade gift for the book lover in your life—or just a special treat for yourself to elevate your reading experience. Whether you’re heading out on a trip or just tossing your current read into your everyday bag, this crochet sleeve keeps your books protected and stylish at the same time. Bonus: it’s a great excuse to use up yarn scraps and experiment with color combos while creating something useful and unique.
