The Library Wrap is a cozy, textured shawl with a soft boomerang shape that drapes beautifully. Its clean ribbed lines, both vertical and horizontal, resemble books neatly stacked on shelves.

The stitch pattern offers a fresh, modern take on crochet, with a unique texture created by variations of the extended single crochet stitch. To help you get comfortable with the stitches, it includes a swatch section with a chart and step-by-step photos - perfect for practicing before starting the shawl! You can also use the swatch instructions to create a rectangle wrap: scarf or stole.

I create new crochet stitches to show a quieter, softer side of crochet: calm, simple, and casual. My patterns may look unusual at first only because the technique is new to you, just like your first chain or single crochet once was. After a little practice, it feels easy and natural.
