Apiary Book Sleeve

The Apiary Book Sleeve is a decorative accessory that can adorn your current read while providing a bit of protection during travel. It has an allover honeycomb stitch pattern, which is both stretchy to accommodate varying book sizes and thick to add some cushion. As this is a companion piece to the Apiary Cardigan, the format of the pattern is the same and a row tracker is included. **Sizes**: paperback (hardcover) **Approximate book size**: 8.5in x 5.5in x 1in (9.5in x 6in x 1in) **Approximate yardage**: Worsted/Aran weight yarn 109 (137) yards / 100 (125) meters Yarn used in sample: Hobbii Tweed Delight **Gauge**: 12 st and 28 rows per 4in x 4in/10cm x 10 cm in the stitch pattern **Suggested Needles**: Size US 8 (5 mm) - 12 inch (30 cm) or longer circular **Notions**: * Yarn needle * Yard holder or waste yarn * Optional: 15mm button or decorative tie **Techniques used**: * kitchener stitch * double knitting * knitting in stitch below
