Thank you for this really clear tutorial, i choose 2 color : violet and bright green (inspo : maleficent) and even if i haven’t finish yet, i’m absolutly sure it will be amazing !! Ty !!

[@syddlinden8966]

You can also carry your yarns up the side by working over the extra one on the ch1 before you turn. It kinda twists them together so they stay neat and you can work over them super easy when rounds start.

[@Anna-gy4uc]

Hi guyss, if you, like me, didn’t like to cut the yarn and make a knot every time you switch color, but you also didn’t want to do it like the tutorial… try the Russian knot! It’s not that difficult and makes the transition very smooth. There are a lot of explanations on KZbin about how to make a Russian knot, hope that helps someone as much as it helped me ☺️

[@zainaba1901]

Hello I really like this design and I'm really glad I found it, thank you ❤️ I'm hoping to make this as a birthday gift for my friend. Although the yarns that I have are a bit thinner than these and I was wondering if instead of starting with five chains and then 4 half DC's as you did, could I take maybe 9 chains to start off?

[@zainaba1901]

Please, can you let me know how to make two rows for the spine/base? Thank you

[@savannahfletcher]

Hello! I'm so glad you like the design! 9 chains to start off would be perfect! I would probably do 8 HDC then: 4 in one color, 4 in your other color. Then just repeat that row for as tall as your book spine is (changing colors as necessary). I hope this helps, but let me know if you have any other questions! 💖

[@keziahtunac5791]

thank you for this! i used the purple and white colorss

[@zekgoogle4909]

Sorry if you've answered this already, but if you want to make it in one color, how should I do that? I'm a beginner at crocheting 😅

[@Sum2um]

You just need to skip the parts where she changes colour, you just carry on with the same colour. Meaning, when she switches to green e.g. you would skip the bit where she changes colour, but still copy the same pattern, Sorry if this is a lil' confusing 😅

[@Magda-iv4fb]

Hi, thanks for the pattern! I’m wondering why my column of slip stiches is crooked. What possibly am I doing wrong? Chaining one for each round as in the video 🤷🏻‍♀️.

[@savannahfletcher]

Hi! Hmmm, is it more crooked than mine? Mine is pretty slanted already, but I don't mind how it looks! If you want to make it less slanted, you could try doing double crochets instead of half-double crochet! And instead of 3 rows tall for each square, just do 2 rows. Hope this helps!! 💖

hi, i just finished this project and OMG its so cuteeee with purple and white!!!! but i have soooo many books (im an obsessed and heartbroken reader) and this doesn't fit all the book sizes i have. do i have to make a new one for each book size i have or is there a pattern that is adaptable to any size?

[@pineapples3235]

Once you finish a round/row do you slip stitch and chain 1 to start the next layer of HDC everytime ? Bc i havent been doing that 😭

[@rylayay]

whenever im working in rounds i usually slip stitch+ch1 and start the next one but it really depends on the pattern. idk if slip stitching and chaining 1 has an effect on the final look of the project but as long as it looks right and yk where your round starts/ends, i dont rlly think it matters imo 🤷‍♀️

[@pineapples3235]

@@rylayay does it create that edge effect for the spine ?? Bc i notice mines is a bit rounded

[@rylayay]

@@pineapples3235 idk for sure if doing a slst at the end of a round effects the edge (bc i didnt slst lol) but since we're working in rounds, *i think* this project will always have a slightly rounded edge even if you slip stitch and chain 1. 🙈

[@pineapples3235]

@@rylayay also, for some reason my project looks better on the inside? Like the checkered squares look much smoother and cleaner. Could I possibly flip or turn over the book cover and use it like that?

[@rylayay]

@@pineapples3235 yes you can! most projects worked in rounds are meant to be flipped inside out, either while youre making it or at the end. At the end of the day its up to you and what you think looks good :)

[@aahpuuh]

How much yarn did the project use roughly?

[@teruro]

Hello question here, can I do more than 5 chains at the beginning? Because the chain I'm going for is based on my book thickness. If so, then is the row still 3 or I need to add more according to my book?

[@syddlinden8966]

Yes, if you wanna keep it as squares vs rectangles you would need more rows. So with hdc, you wanna chain one more than the number of sts you want, then you want your tried in each color to be one less than the number of sts across. I hope that makes sense. Example: If book is 10ch wide, ch11, hdc 10 sts for 9 rows. 🙂

[@zivenuz]

I tried it and it didnt turned out really good but eh,im gonna try agan

[@lenalena433]

How much yarn do i need of each color?❤

[@Sum2um]

Hi! its a bit late but, do you know why the stitches slant iver time? The checkered look falls to the side, which is beautiful btw, but how do i make the stitches align? So that its straight?

[@syddlinden8966]

As long as your stitches are stacked and your now gaining sts at all, it's just a crochet thing with geometric patterns like this. It's normal for crochet to kind of spiral up, but won't be noticed in a solid color. To fix it, you can put the cover on your book and kind of stretch the squares into shape.

[@syddlinden8966]

*NOT gaining sts Sorry for the typo

[@Sum2um]

@@syddlinden8966 I found a way! But you need to use double crochets, and each square is 4*2 instead of 4*3. Does that make sense?? It's only 2 rows high because dc are higher, but the pattern is basically the same. This way it doesn't slant! Thank you btw

[@elisacampestrini7977]

Hi! I am trying to make it but I don’t know why is my squares a little diagonal 😢

[@haeszn]

is there any ways to not get the squares tilted like that?

[@savannahfletcher]

That's a good question! I think the reason they are tilted is because we are using half-double crochet stitches. If you tried using double crochet instead, they might be less tilted! Not entirely sure, but hope this helps! 💖

[@CalidogamingYT]

⁠@@CalidogamingYT could you explain what is YO and YU ? i am beginner so i couldn’t understand
