Play with two colors of yarn to create a bold garment. It is the perfect layering piece to add to your wardrobe so you can glow with the warmth that only comes from wearing a handmade piece. This loose fitting shrug is easy to throw over any outfit. The goal of this shrug was to create a garment that was approachable to all knitters. Newbie knitters don’t need to be intimidated by this seamless simple construction, and can even skip the lace detail and i-cord edge if they want to keep it super basic. Experienced knitters can enjoy a quick interesting lace panel and then relax for some mindless flat garter stitch.
