I’ll definitely be making my own. I’d like to see a book sleeve for thicker books. Like HOEAB or Dunes.

@ediebegonia 8 ай бұрын

Maybe larger hook with heavier yarn to increase the size of the squares? I'd think adding about 1" should be sufficient 🤷‍♀️

@@ediebegonia I'm currently making one for my paperback ACOMAF. Its a pretty thick book, but you can just continue to add rows until it is big enough to encase the book. :)

you could also add rounds to your granny squares!! add a round with some puff stitches in there for some extra space :) just an idea!

Such a fun project! I'm new to granny squares and your instructions were super easy to follow. My book sleeve turned out great. I used (from the inside out) turquoise, light pink, orange, light yellow and turquoise again for the center. Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial!

I just finished my project, and you are the first person to successfully teach me to whip stitch on camera (one side may be on the wrong side for me hehe first time things). I’m brand new to crochet and this is my first big thing so thank you!!! My obsession with granny squares grows stronger especially since learning me how versatile they are. I hope your day is good because you made mine so much better with this video. :)

I made one for a friend. Her favorite colors are red, yellow, and green. So I made the granny square like a flower wit yellow in the middle and red around the yellow. Then I did a lighter green and then a darker green. It turned out really pretty! So easy!

Absolutely the best tutorial I've ever watched! My granny squares always looked pretty off, but with this tutorial, they looked sooo good. I finished the book sleeve in one day, and I'm sooo proud. Definitely very good for beginners.

I made one last night in colors cream, yellow, mustard, and black. Just using yarn from my stash instead of buying more. I'm making another one in two different shades of pink (can't remember the names), glacier, and a dark green (also don't know the name). It's so fun and easy to make. Thanks for the tutorial!

I used a steamer but the steam from an iron is the same, so yes! I have also done wet blocking for these and it worked well, but I prefer steam blocking :)

@carolinehoel1997 27 күн бұрын

I do have a question I did not Ask earlier though… If you want to make one Of these for a thicker book do you add more granny squares or do you make a thicker border..?

@AshtenStitches 27 күн бұрын

I guess it depends on how thick the book is! These have a bit of stretch since I use acrylic yarn, and even after blocking it still does stretch! But you can always modify this by making bigger squares or adding a thicker border, or even changing it up and adding granny squares as the border to add some width to it! I hope that makes sense!! Lol

@ediebegonia 8 ай бұрын

I envision this in shades of purple and ecru. My hands shake and I'd have trouble feeding the tie through the flap on a regular basis. I was wondering if adding a button on the flap and another on the front of the sleeve for winding the tie in a figure eight would work instead.

@AshtenStitches 8 ай бұрын

Oh absolutely!! I even thought about those magnetic button clasps being a great option!

@nalaniavila7752 6 ай бұрын

can we block the squares before putting the border? or is it better to block it once they’re all connected?

@AshtenStitches 6 ай бұрын

You can definitely do that! I prefer doing it once they’re all sewn together and I’ve added the border so it can all block together, but you can block whenever you’d like!

Mine came out way too small! 😭 I don’t know how it happend, maybe my yarn was thinner? I think I will make extra borders or something 🥲

@AshtenStitches Ай бұрын

Yarn can be the reason and also tension can cause that! I have a tighter tension! But I used a weight 4 acrylic yarn, but you can use any yarn as long as you get your squares to around 5 inches!

Tension is probably the issue! Try going up a hook size and see if that helps :) basically my squares were 5 inches so as long as you get there, it should be good!
