How to Crochet a Book Sleeve 🤗✨📚🧶 | Beginner Friendly

Looking for a quick and easy crochet book sleeve to use for your reading adventures? Here’s a beginner-friendly crochet tutorial for you. It’s perfect for protecting your favorite reads on the go!

Whether you’re a casual reader or deep into BookTok (or BookTube) recs, this cozy DIY book cover is a must-have for your bookish lifestyle.

We’ll go step-by-step so even total beginners can follow along. No sewing required – just yarn, a hook, and a little time to create something cute and functional.

💬 Let me know in the comments—what book would you keep safe inside your new crochet book sleeve? What colors would you use to match your favorite book or reading vibe?

UPDATE: In this tutorial, I mentioned that I’m using the BACK POST double crochet stitch, but it’s actually the BACK LOOP double crochet stitch.

Just wanted to share that for clarity’s sake. Thank you and enjoy the tutorial! 😍✨🧶📚
