Here is a simple shrug pattern, originally designed to be knit with
hand-dyed yarn—but you can use any similar commercially dyed yarn if
you don’t feel like dyeing your own. This simple shrug is a perfect way
to create a garment without increasing or decreasing. It is constructed
from a rectangle knitted lengthwise and seamed to make sleeves. Easy
stitches and no-fuss construction means you can make this in a weekend!
Optional dyeing instructions are included.
Finished Size: 48" long and 8" wide.
Yarn: About 400 yds worsted
weight (#4 medium) yarn. If you intend to dye the yarn first, make sure
the yarn is dyeable. For the hand-dyed shrug pictured, we used 400 yds
(61 D2 oz.) Sabie Kid Mohair bouclé, 985 yds/lb, available from Louet
Sales.
Needles: Size 9 (5.5 mm): 32" circular (cir).
Skill level: Beginner.
