Shrug it.

Knitting is a true passion of mine. Creating a beautiful garment from a single strand of yarn fascinates me. And the journey from casting on to binding off is a enlightening experience.

I was looking for the perfect "little something" to throw over my arms when at a wedding, in the air conditioning, or even in the cool spring weather. I'm crazy about cable knits and this little shrug was the perfect choice.

I made modifications to the original Lion Brand pattern along the way and took plenty of notes. You can download them for your own reference. I also recreated the chart. The pattern's chart was too small for me to see the detail.

I've gotten many questions what the front of the shrug looks like. Here's me wearing the finished piece. The only thing I'd do differently is make a medium instead of a small. I'm 5'5" tall. The difference in pattern sizes is not cuff to cuff but, rather, neck to waist. The small falls above my waist. Otherwise, I love it. It's soft, warm and a nice little something to toss around your shoulders to ward off the chill.
