Let this shawl be an invitation to cocoon with your favorite book. Its central crochet cable represents the book’s spine while the ledge stitch on either side mimics the pages of said book.

The shawl is worked from the cable center, then we pick up stitches to create the wings one side at a time. After we complete the body for the main portion of the shawl, we pick up stitches along the v edge to create our rib.
