The Library Shawl was designed as a cozy wrap for long study days, and has become my constant companion. Worked back and forth in herringbone stitch with 1 strand of plotulopi and 1 strand of silk mohair, this oversize shawl is soft and warm.

This shawl is worked back and forth flat, from the widest part through 3 sections of decreases to short row shaping. This is a one-size shawl, measuring 90” / 229 cm long and 19” / 48 cm wide at widest part.
