Plot Twist Book Sleeve

A cosy cover story for the one-more-chapter crowd. Meet Plot Twist: a cheerful book sleeve knitting pattern with a rich berry body, sunny gold rims and slim coral accents. A matching knitted bookmark completes the colour story, making this a thoughtful project for readers, book-club friends and handmade gift lovers. EVERY ROW IS A KNIT ROW Knit one long garter-stitch rectangle, fold it at the marked midpoint and sew the two sides. The fold forms the closed bottom and the gold edges become the open top. There is no purling, shaping or knitting in the round. TWO SLEEVE SIZES Compact: approximately 18.2 cm wide between the side seams and 23.6 cm deep when empty and folded. Roomy: approximately 21.8 cm wide between the side seams and 27.3 cm deep when empty and folded. Dimensions are approximate at the reference gauge after washing. Book thickness matters, so the guide explains how to measure the cover, height and spine, choose a size and check the fit with temporary seams. Custom calculations help you make a sleeve for a different book. A MATCHING LITTLE EXTRA The bookmark is a narrow garter-stitch strip with gold tips and coral accents. Its complete 88-row colour schedule is included in the same guide. Finished size is approximately 3.6 x 20 cm at the reference gauge.
