- Hi everyone!
Today's video is a crochet book cover. I’ve seen a lot of these popping up on TikTok and I figured I would hop on the train. You’ll need 6 granny squares. You can use as many colors as you would like. I used 5. You’ll also need a 5.5mm hook and a button
For this project, you should be able to do the following stitches: chain, slip stitch, half double crochet, double crochet, and a magic ring. You could also choose to do the chainless double crochet mentioned in the video as opposed to a chain 2, but this isn’t necessary. Here is a more in-depth tutorial for that:

I could NOT make a granny square before this video thank you!!!
I’ve made 5 so far 😭
that’s amazing!!!! glad i could help
I don't know if it's complicated just for me but I took a lot of time to do it 😃 and I'm trying hard yet
change my words, I got the best result, a result I didn't expect at the beginning, I thought it would be difficult, but it's easier than what I expected, you're amazing 💕
Yay! Thank you! I’m so glad it worked out for you:)
this is such a good tutorial for granny squares. ive tried several videos but this is finally the one where it clicked for me !! and i love you showed how to do chainless it’s so much easier to find the space to slip stitch ! thank you
oh awesome! I’m so glad to hear that! Thank you :)
I made it for my books, and it was really good! I kinda messed up on the buttons, and this was my very first time doing granny squares, but this came out very good! I give it 1000000000000/10
so helpful!! This was actually my first crochet project, and I thought it would be too hard but I did it! thank you! :)
yay that's so awesome!
Watching you do this made it look so easyyyy ✨
I tried to make one, but I guess my tension when holding my yarn is too tight so it ended up being too small even for a paper cover. So I ended up improvising and adding 2 more granny squares and adding a couple more double crochets on the sides. Overall this tutorial was very helpful and easy to follow but I got confused on how to add the loop part.
for anyone that hasnt let a tail at the end of the granny square ( like me ) dotn worry just tie the colour between one of the stiches 👍
i made it and it came out so good I LOVE IT and the pattern was so easy to follow THANK YOU SO MUCH
I’m so glad!!!
It was one of the best tutorials for crocheting on RUclips ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awww I’m so glad it was easy to follow!
omg i was JUST thinking of making a book sleeve but with heart granny square,,,, now i think i want to do this pattern instead
oooo hearts would be cute!
oooo hearts would be cute!
I JUST MADE MY FIRST GRANNY SQUARE. THANK YOUU SO MUCH!
OMG THATS AWESOME
thank you so much for this tutorial! it's so helpful and really cute and beautiful!!
Awesome directions ❤❤
i love the colorsss
Thank you! I always have a tough time choosing colors
how big does one granny square measure? i am going to make this but using a star granny square and i want to make sure it will turn out the same size
Mine came out way to big for my book but I still love it. I think I’m going to make it a clutch purse! Thanks
oo that would be super cool!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOUUUU IT LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!! ❤❤❤
Great tutorial! Can I ask approximately what's the measurement for one granny square crochet? I've made something similar before but ended up not being able to fit my book in it :(
It depends how big you make it Ig! And your yarn size etc. Ik that's not very helpful but if ur book doesn't fit then you can add to your granny square and make it bigger by adding another set of edges
OMG I'm going to do that as soon as I buy more colors hahah
i still can’t.
took me two hours and 3 attempts to get that first little square but i did it 😭
Took me three days to complete my first one but I love it!
Omg that’s awesome!! 3 days is pretty good, sometimes it takes months for me to finish stuff 😅
Hey Jade!! I'm using your tutorial with another pattern of granny squares, could you share the dimensions (more or less) of your granny squares so I can see if it'll work with your same measurements? thank you
Я зробила цю обкладинку !!! Мені сподобалось , це не дуже складно, тому що вся основна праця це бабусині квадрати . Залишається лише зв'язати їх разом , та обробити край. Я не дуже вдивлялась в туторіал, бо сама спочатку зрозуміла схему. Та вийшла дуже універсальна обкладинка ,її можна використовувати як косметичку або сумочку . Дуже рада що зробила це!!
I could not understand the little loop section for the button. I did it for the first round but now how can i do the second round on the loop? Should i make the loop in the last part?
Me encantooooooo
Love this! I'm going to make the sunflower one from your other video.... how do you make the loops for the buttons? I'm guessing just a chain but not sure how to incorporate that into this pattern! Thanks :)
I sort of touched on that in the tutorial but yes it’s just chains. After you join the squares together into a block, you go around with half double crochet. At a certain point (wherever u want the loop for the button) you’ll place a half double crochet then chain as much as you need and then half double into the next stitch. That’ll make a loop!
Is there any ways u could post this book cover tutorial but with daisy granny squares instead 😊
You can use any type of granny square you want! Just make one using any tutorial and then measure to see how many you'll need to join to make an appropriate size rectangle to fit your book. If it seems like it's too big/ small of a square you can try to use a smaller or larger hook! It's the same process though basically
mine looks so sad and shriveled up compared to yours lol
I dont understand the chainless stitch so im doing the chain 2 but i cannot tell if im supposed to chain 2 and then also do two more double crochets or three....
2 more! The chain 2 counts as the first double crochet
@@jadecordial Thanks! So far the squares are coming out great. I'm very excited to put it all together. (First tutorial of Granny squares that makes sense to me!)
can I please ask what the size of the book that you put in the book cover was?
5 x 8” approx!
how do I combine them after combining them into twos?
The same way. Lay them so they make the rectangle shape with each set of 2 next to each other and sew down the sides
how did you add the magnetic clasp? and where can i find them?
I sewed it with a needle and thread, and I think they are from amazon. But I honestly don't like it that much because it's a strong magnet and it's hard to separate the flap unless you grab both magnets
How many grams of yarn it takes
I’m not exactly sure but you’ll need the most for the outside main color! you could probably find a website with information on how many grams of yarn a granny square takes for each row!
honestly this was confusing like she didnt really show the chainless stitch and mumbled so much
Literally
How do u like that book btw I’ve been thinking of reading it
i actually haven’t read it yet!
I did 5 rounds with a smaller hook and my squares seem wayyyy to big? 😂 idk why but I feel like they should be smaller. Maybe I’m tripping or I just have a small book with me
hmmmm maybe you have looser tension. Pretty sure i crochet on the tighter side
@@jadecordial maybe 😭 I’m gonna try again though and see what happens ty ❤️
Hey! What’s the size of the yarns you used? Thank you!
size 4 yarn!
Hii what layers of yarn did you use? 4 or 8?
I used a size 4 yarn! One strand
I wasn’t able to fit my book in it :(
:(
You could add some rows of hdc to the sides after you join the squares to make it fit!
Hey What kind of yarn did you use ?
size 4. Red heart and big twist
@@jadecordial thank you 😊
Is there any written pattern?!
no sorry!
