Swallow Shrug
"You're going to love this super unique knit shrug! My pattern is easy to follow, and you'll wind up with a cross between a cropped cardigan and a traditional triangular shawl. If you're anything like me, you love the look and warmth of a shawl, but hate that you have to hold it in place all night. With my Swallow Shrug knit shawl pattern, you'll end up with something that looks like a bolero in the front and a shawl in the back. This beginner-level shrug will be your go-to layer for cool summer evenings or thrown on top of your favorite dress. /PATTERN DETAILS • Comfortable shoulder cover-up • Adjustable size • Easy knitting pattern • Simple construction • Techniques used / Special stitches: Right-leaning simple decrease (k2tog) and left-leaning simple decrease (ssk) • Illustrated step-by-step photos /MATERIALS • 6 mm / US 10 knitting needles. • Worsted weight wool yarn (100g): 5 skeins • Tapestry needle to weave in the ends • 4 stitch markers"
