Bow-Covered Book and Bible Cover

If you have been wanting a cover that feels soft and a little romantic, start here. STAZZI designed this beginner friendly book and Bible cover and scattered it with dainty crocheted bows, and the best part is how customizable it is. Once the base is made you can swap the bows for hearts, flowers, cherries, or clouds, so it really becomes your own.

It works up in a size 4 medium weight yarn on a 5 mm hook, with the front and back in simple double crochet and a row of half double crochet shaping the spine. Little flap pockets hold your book in place, and the whole thing is taught step by step on video, bows included.

Granny Square Bible Cover

This is the one for granny square lovers and scrap busters. Bailey Roberson joins six little granny squares for each side in pink, lavender, and white, then finishes it with a crocheted spine, a border, and tuck in flaps. A pink ribbon peeking out of the spine doubles as a built in bookmark.

She uses I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby and walks through everything in a long, beginner friendly video, from two ways to start a granny square to weaving in ends and joining the squares. The square count is easy to adjust, so you can size it to whatever book or Bible you carry.

Lattice Stitch Cover With Button Closure

Jenny Cate Crochet walks you through this two tone cover with a relaxed, follow along style that is lovely for advanced beginners. The airy lattice stitch gives the front a soft, open texture, and a scalloped cream border frames it and wraps into a flap that buttons shut to keep everything tucked in.

It is worked in a light, size 3 yarn on a 3.5 mm hook and finishes around 20 inches long by 9 1/4 inches tall, sized to wrap a standard Bible. You will need a couple of buttons to close the flap, and vintage or mismatched ones add a lot of charm.

Margie One-Skein Linked Stitch Cover

If you want something you can finish from a single skein, the Margie cover by Lisa Brown of I Crochet So Hard is a smart pick. It is worked in linked double crochet, which closes up the gaps between stitches for a dense, sturdy fabric that really protects the pages. Shown here in deep plum with a cross charm and ribbon, it has a quiet, grown up look.

You only need about 130 to 140 yards of medium or light worsted cotton, like WeCrochet Dishie, and an F (3.75 mm) hook. The pattern includes an optional crochet chain bookmark and is easy to resize, so it fits everything from a small devotional to a larger study Bible.

Sweet Blessings Bible Cover

Last on the list is the Sweet Blessings cover by Michelle of Two Brothers Blankets, shown in a soft slate blue with a dense, woven looking texture and a ribbon bookmark. She created it as the very first project for a Christian crochet along, designed to be made and gifted to friends, Bible study groups, or anyone who could use a little encouragement.

Heads up that this one started out as the group's free starter pattern and has since moved to a paid, ad free PDF on Ravelry. It is still an inexpensive, small project, so if the gifting story speaks to you it is an easy one to add to your list.
