Dragon Scale Shrug Plus Sizes
This shrug is written for a custom fit with loose fitting sleeves, covering only the arms and the back across the shoulder blades with a long tie “closure” across the collarbone in the front.

(Must have knowledge of how to work around the post of a stitch. Previous knowledge of the Crocodile Stitch is helpful, but there are many tutorials online to learn the basics of the stitch pattern.)

Back – 18” (19”, 20”) Measured from shoulder to shoulder over the shoulder blades. Length is customized by the armhole measurement of the finished sleeve.
