From the Knit Picks Website:

This shrug is perfect for so many occasions! Make it with a shimmering black yarn for an evening out on the town, a light cotton yarn for a summer wedding, or a light weight cashmere or wool blend for cool spring & fall evenings.

This pattern is intermediate in difficulty – you need to be very comfortable reading detailed patterns with design repeats. The pattern uses basic stitches: chains, single crochet, double crochet, slip stitch, & picot stitches.
