The Bibliophile is a piece that best represents the moment before a book is opened. Before any pages are turned there is a comfort, anticipation of relaxing, snuggling in and getting lost in the words. I chose stockinette for this piece because much like a book can hold many stories, this design can hold many fabrics (boucle, mohair, handspun, nubby, tweed, solid). The versatility of an entire library is in this pattern.

This is a wearable, unisex piece for every body! While the Bibliophile 2 is proportioned & written to women’s standard measurements, this piece is proportioned & written to men’s standard measurements. This can look like a closer neckline, wider cross back, deeper armhole depth, longer & less fitted sleeves, longer & less fitted torso.
