Literary Chic: 16 Patterns for Book Lovers

February 8, 2022 by Stitch&Unwind

There’s just something about a good book that has the ability to completely transport you to another place. Whether you like the feel of a book in your hand, you love the convenience of e-readers, you prefer to listen to audiobooks when you’re on the go, or all of the above, I think we can all agree that there’s just something magical about losing yourself in a story for a little while. It’s just as easy as losing yourself in a knitting or crochet project, in fact!

If you’ve ever wanted to channel the characters of your favorite books, here are 16 patterns just for you: based on 8 popular and classic books, these crochet and knitting patterns are just the thing to bring a little bit of that make-believe world into your reality. Some of them even have movie or TV adaptations, so you can compare your patterns to the real costumes! Find your favorite patterns and get started, and if you’re an audiobook lover, you can even listen along to your favorite story as you work!
