This is a pattern from 1912 that I have given a gauge, changed the needles, changed the yarn, given it a size, and brought the terminology up to date. It should prove no pitfalls to the modern knitter.

The shrug is knit in one piece and seamed up under the arms. It utilizes short rows for the shaping.
