How to Crochet a Strawberry Book Cover (the perfect summer project!)

Hello everyone! I finally have the long tutorial for this highly requested pattern...the Strawberry Book Cover! In this video, I'll teach you how to crochet the V stitch as well as share my pattern for these super cute crochet strawberries! I hope you all like this pattern and enjoy creating your own book sleeves!

Now, just a quick note before we get into the tutorial: this tutorial is made using US crochet terms, not UK terms. If you are unsure about the difference between these two terms, check out this blog post here, where I explain the difference in detail.

What You Will Need:
a DK or lightweight yarn of your choice for the book cover (I'm using 100% acrylic yarn)
some lightweight/thin yarn in red, green and white for the strawberries
a 4mm and 3mm crochet hook
a darning needle
a pair of scissors
some stitch markers (or something similar, eg: hair pin, saftey pin, etc.)
a tape measure (optional)
you're book of choice
a hot glue gun (optional)
