Knit a fabulous shrug that doubles as scarf, shawl and even a cowl.....
The new Manning shrug shows off a repetitive open weave look that is a quick and easy to knit. All edges are kept in simple garter stitches. The yarn used here feels really comfy to wear and so I think that you and I will get lots of use out of this project. :)
In case you are wondering about the cool bag I am wearing, it's my Cell Phone Bag, the knit kits are 40% off.
The pattern is fully written and also offers a chart for your knitting pleasure.
The flat dimensions as shown here with extra long sleeves, as I like them to be are 64" in overall length and the height is 14.5". I have folded my sleeves over into a cuffs about 3" deep. You may want your sleeves to be shorter, so the pattern will give you guidelines on how many stitches might work for you to cast on.
