A simple, yet perfect layering piece for those days when the weather can't seem to decide what the season is, or the airconditioning in the office is turned up to "Arctic". The flexible pattern provides guidance for adapting the fit of the shrug to suit your shape and your mood. This shrug pattern is suitable for newer knitters and experienced knitters alike. Worked in a combination of garter stitch and stockinette stitch with simple shaping, it can be worked as is or used as a canvas for that lace or texture stitch pattern you've been eyeing in a stitch dictionary.

A note about sizing: The fit of this shrug is extremely flexible, and easily adjustable. In the main image and the additional image, both models are wearing the same size medium shrug with different results. For a closer fit, choose a body opening circumference around 12 in. larger than the wearer’s actual bust measurement. For a looser, more jacket-like fit, choose a circumference about 18in. larger than the wearer’s actual bust measurement.
