Good to know

Choose a listed size or measure the book's cover width, height and spine for the custom-fit method. Knit one rectangle in DK garter stitch, mark both folds and sew the two sides; no fastening is required. Illustrations show the intended design. Stitch arithmetic has been checked; physical test-knitting, fit and yarn consumption remain unverified.

Full Etsy listing description
Give your favourite read a soft new cover with Plot Armour, a book sleeve knitting pattern in three sizes. Knit one rectangle in DK yarn, mark the two fold lines and sew the sides to create a pouch with a full-width fold-over flap. Every row is a knit row, with optional contrast-colour lip and flap sections. The eight-page A4 pattern includes exact stitch and row counts, pocket measurements, illustrated assembly, a washed-gauge guide, custom-fit formulas and a worked example for a book with a thick spine. Three colour palettes, a single-colour option and a reading-and-gifting notes page add useful extras. UK knitting terms suit a beginner who can cast on, knit, cast off and sew simple seams. Product images are design illustrations. Stitch arithmetic has been checked; physical test-knitting, fit and yarn consumption remain unverified.
From download to done

Get ready to knit Plot Armour

  1. Choose Small, Medium, Large or the custom-fit method, then measure the closed book's cover width, height and spine before checking a washed DK garter-stitch swatch.
  2. Knit one rectangle flat, following the exact stitch and row counts and marking the bottom and flap folds; use the optional contrast colour for the lip and flap if wanted.
  3. Fold at both markers and sew the two side seams, leaving the full-width flap free. Check the book slides in comfortably and the spine is not compressed.
