Almost a sweater, almost a wrap, a shrug is the perfect thing to keep you warm without weighing you down. Come learn the secrets of the shrug that are simple, yet give impressive results. This is the ultimate year round garment. Snugly enough in the cold of winter for keeping you warm while you knit or are at your desk, wonderful for keeping the chill off as spring starts to roll around, perfect for our cool summer evenings and comforting as a fall staple. You will want several. This pattern is easy to adapt for sleeve length, different stitch pattern and yarns.

Materials: worsted or bulky weight yarn, approximately 400-600 yards, needles to match gauge of yarn. Store sample is knit with Cuzco and #10’s

Knitting from the top down is my favorite way to design a simple shrug or sweater, you can customize your garment as you are knitting, short sleeve, long sleeve, short body, long body, add some cables, or maybe some lace what ever you choose you will be knitting it all in one piece so when you get to the end you will just put it right on! No Seaming up!

Needles to match yarn you pick ( Denise Interchangeable are great for this class! )
