Abbreviations (US Terms)
If you use a smaller weight yarn (smaller size crochet hook) then you need to create your foundation chain to ensure it fits the width of the notebook (measuring up and down). You’ll also need to change the number of rows you create to ensure that crochet fabric will wrap around the book snuggly.
Using stitch markers, secure the flap at top and bottom to prepare for stitching.
Using the yarn and yarn needle, whip stitch along the bottom and top to close the flap and create a sleeve.
Creating the Latch/Closure (Optional Steps)
Row 2: SC each stitch across, CH 1, TW
Row 3: SC each stitch across, fasten off, cut yarn.
Measure a piece of yarn, two times the length of the book, approximately 20”. Attached the yarn to the bottom of the crochet cover and pull the yarn along the center seam of the notebook, until you reach the top.
Secure the yarn to the top of the crochet section of the notebook, with a knot. This will secure the cover to the book and the extra yarn will serve as a bookmark.
