Shrug** is inspired by clothing from the East, where they with simple folding techniques manage to create beautiful and simple clothes out of a square piece of fabric.
In this design, however, I have added some “shape” to give the optimal fit in the characteristic shoulder/collar part.

Shrug is worked from the bottom and up, in rib and stockinette stitch. The shoulder part is knitted together on the front and is marked with a visible seam. The sleeves are knitted directly on the body - all you need is to weave in the ends.*
