Keep your favorite reads safe in a cozy, handmade sleeve. I design custom crochet covers and book pouches that fit your books perfectly, all with that signature coquette aesthetic 🎀✨.
I made this beautiful Tulip Quran Cover to protect the holy book from dust and wear. It features the delicate tulip stitch and has an attached lace bookmark. I can make these in custom sizes for any book.
Someone asked for a tutorial on the tulip stitch, so here it is. This is one of my favorite stitches because it looks so beautiful and intricate, but it's actually quite simple to do. I use it for many of my book covers and pouches.
I started crocheting to make things for people I love, and this little daisy bookmark is a reminder of that. It’s a simple, handmade gift that can bring a smile to any book lover’s face.

A helpful tip for anyone who works with granny squares. This video shows how I block my squares using a simple foam mat and pins to get them perfectly flat and even, which is essential for a clean finish on a book cover.
About Custom Book & Journal Covers
When you order a cover from me, we aren't just guessing sizes. Whether you need a snug fit for your favorite novel or a protective sleeve for your Qur'an, send me your exact measurements. I build these without pre-set patterns, so we can add little details like attached lace bookmarks or custom closures so your book stays safe and super cute 🎀.
I treat every book cover as a tiny architectural project. Since books come in all shapes and sizes, I don't use 'one-size-fits-all' templates. Whether you have a thick hardbound journal, a standard paperback, or a specific Qur'an, I construct the cover to your exact measurements so nothing slides around.
My Favorite Styles
- Tulip Stitch: This is the crowd favorite. It is intricate and beautiful, perfect if you want something soft and textured.
- Granny Squares: If you love that retro, cottagecore vibe, I can join floral granny squares to create a cover that feels like a vintage quilt.
The Process
Once you DM me your idea and measurements, I start crocheting. I use washable acrylic or cotton-blend yarns so your cover stays fresh even if you take it everywhere in your bag. If you want an attached lace bookmark or a specific button closure like a strawberry or heart, just let me know. I’m always down to try something new, so if you have a specific pattern or color palette in mind, let’s make it happen! Remember, because these are made by hand (and sometimes by my sore fingers), they take a bit of time, so I appreciate your patience while I get it just right for you 🫶🏻.
