The history of the dust jacket can be traced back to the mid-19th century as a means to shield books from dust and wear. As the 19th century progressed, publishers began to recognize the potential of the outer book cover as a promotional tool. For two more centuries, the dust jacket would continue to evolve and remains one of the most collectible assets of a book.
The Dust Jacket Kit pays homage to its humble beginnings. The jacket body is worked in our sweet Chickadee using the linen stitch. The piece can be customized to fit your most treasured literary masterpiece. The jacket is further embellished with a simple lily and a pocket for your favorite writing utensil (or knitting needles).
The Dust Jacket Kit includes yarn, pattern, and the My Knitting Notes journal which makes this the PERFECT care package for a new student or your very best bookworm/knitting pal!
