Let's make some tiny, knitted books with secret compartments, just for the pure pleasure of it!

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 sliding box style book, just like the one I've pictured. The finished "book" is approximately 3" wide, 5" tall, and 1.5" deep.

In your kit

  • PDF pattern: Immediate download plus a code (that ships in your kit) to add it to your Ravelry library
  • Hand-dyed yarn in my 80/20 Smooth Sock (fingering weight) base. You get a half skein (50g) of the main colorway of your choice and a quarter-skein (25g) of Lightly Foxed (the creamy and gently speckled "pages" colorway).
  • The insides: one large heavy cardboard slide box (packed flat; you'll glue it together)
  • The outsides: Heavy-duty cardboard cover & spine
  • Hardware & notions: All the rare earth magnets you'll need (16 tiny ones) and a teeny tube of superglue
  • Embellishments: Hand-dyed silk embroidery thread (3g), satin-finish ribbon for making the ribbon pull and tie, a metal Merchant & Mills button, and two perfectly-fitting pieces of latte-colored 100% wool felt.
  • A guided knit-along video. Your kit includes a video with my peer-to-peer tips for making these little books.
  • Optional: the pattern (immediate download + Ravelry code in your kit box)

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!

The kit price includes $10 for the pattern. If you already bought the pattern (from a previous kit or from Hunter), I'll happily refund you $10.

BUT:You will still get emailed a download link. (There's no way to make my system NOT send the auto-email.) Please don't click the link and re-download the pattern.
