CROCHET BOOK OR BIBLE COVER DESIGN#1

 

look at the arrow in the 2nd picture of the bible (that's the size i measured)

CROCHET BIBLE COVER

MATERIALS:

• 4mm hook (any size you're comfortable to use)
• Combine two yarns acrylic & thin yarn Monaco

INSTRUCTIONS:

The bible size I'll be making is small (4.5 x 6) - thick 1.3"

I measured the bible horizontally

Depends on the size of your Bible 

Start making the chain (odd number + 1)

I'll use star stitch for this project

ROW 1:

Single Crochet (SC) in this row. Start at the 2nd stitch from the hook.

ROW 2: (do the star stitch)

Chain 3 insert the hook in the 2nd chain, pull through two loops in the hook.

Insert in the 3rd chain (3 loops in the hook). Do this until you have six loops in the hook. (See my tutorials on how to make star stitch)

ROW 3:

SC turn your work and make 2 half double crochet in the eye of the star stitch. 

At the end of the stitch, make 1 half Double Crochet (HDC) to make even.

Do this pattern until you reach the right length for your project

*Alternate: star stitch row  Next Half Double Crochet

FOR THE OVERLAP:

Note: You can continue the pattern without using the overlap but in my experience in making Bible cover, making overlap is nicer than just fold it. this is nicer too for the edges

I started vertical

Same pattern with the body of the project

I made two overlaps (front and at the end)

Then attach these two overlaps using single crochet. I used different color of yarn. 

To make it nicer while attaching, i used pins in order not to move the overlaps. to fit nicely.

Single crochet all the edges. The body of the project is pink  (two yarns pink and light pink) and the edges is colored gray...
