Library Book Shawl
"Snuggle up in your comfiest chair with a good book and the Library Book Shawl wrapped around your shoulders. What a perfect way to recharge after a long day. Or take it to the office to ward off the chill. Wherever you need it, this oversized shawl will keep you warm and cozy. Who is this for? The Library Book Shawl is designed to be a women’s neckwear accessory. However, the shawl can easily be made larger or smaller. How is it designed? Alternating sections of solid double crochet and granny stitch create a vintage look shawl. The combination of acrylic and cotton fibers, along with the lighter DK weight yarn, creates a warm, cozy, lightweight accessory. It’s oversized for extra coverage, almost like a blanket wrapped around your shoulders! The pattern is easy to memorize and the stitch patterns are repetitive, making this shawl an ideal project to relax with. You’ll have fun making it AND wearing it!"
