Good to know

A soft open-top sleeve, rather than a rigid protective case. Standard is approximately 9.6 × 16.4 cm; Roomy is 11.3 × 18.2 cm. Check folded-frame measurements. Use smooth DK cotton and start with 3.5 mm needles.

Full Etsy listing description

Give your reading glasses a little bookish home! Book Nook is a soft knitted sleeve with cheerful cream-and-coral stripes, a teal garter-stitch body and optional embroidered book spines. Keep the front plain or add the tiny shelf for a playful finishing touch. Knit one rectangle flat, fold at the marked centre and join two side seams. Both striped ends meet at the open top. Choose Standard or Roomy, with approximate finished sizes of 9.6 x 16.4 cm and 11.3 x 18.2 cm. A measuring guide and worked example explain how to adjust the width and depth for your folded frames. Digital download: one colourful 8-page A4 PDF in English, including complete written rows, a fold-and-seam diagram, embroidery measurements, stitch explanations and care guidance. Use smooth DK cotton and start with 3.5 mm needles. Suitable for beginners comfortable with casting on and knitting; sewing and optional embroidery are explained. Images show design illustrations and construction schematics.
