The shrug is showing off a gorgeous lace pattern, so it has a touch of dazzle, doesn’t it?
The front piece is wider to create a bit of a dropped neckline, the back goes straight from wrist to wrist. The pattern gives you another option as well with a straight neckline.
Garter stitch edges are seamed at the top of the shoulders, sleeves, around the neckline and again around the bottom border.
The pattern is fully written and also offers a lace chart and schematic.
The slightly blocked shrug measures 23” around the sleeves and 51” in overall length from wrist to wrist.
