This utterly ingenious pattern by Hunter Hammersen walks you through absolutely every step of creating these knitted books—from how to block your book-in-progress to how to attach the inner "pages" (which is actually your handy storage compartment).
This kit includes everything you need to create one Altoid tin-style book, just like the one I've pictured. The finished "book" is the size of an Altoid tin, or 2.3" wide, 3.7" tall, and .75" deep.
Just think how adorable your little knitted book will be as it sits on your coffee table or desk, holding your knitting notions—or maybe a secret love note!
