print a new copy visit: I have not tested this pattern beyond its original design. A NOTE FROM FAITH: I am making one for my Bible, which is a little bigger....all I had to do is add 6 more to my chain at the beginning and add a few more rows to the main cover. Also, I'm doing it in (red, blue, green, yellow, white, black and green) many colors and a row at a time. These are the colors that represent different things in the Christian walk. I am doing the rev.sc. in the yellow. The inner lining and the book mark will be in yellow. And the handles and latch will be yellow/black....I think. I haven't got that far yet. But I thought you might want to post how easy it is to make this fit other Bibles or Books. xox Faith Many Thanks to Roslyn Francis for helping me simplify Round 22.

With the outside of the bible cover facing you, and using the hook, draw the folded end (the loop) of the yarn up through the stitch to which you'd like to join a your marker and pull the loose ends through the folded end.
