Inspired from a vintage photo, this shawl-collared shrug with short sleeves and all-over ribbing is knit in a chunky yarn. It is knit flat, short seams under the arms and along the sides make for minimal finishing.

-Flapper (30-36)
-Romantique (34-40)

GAUGE:
20,5 sts/16 rows = 4” in unblocked (unstretched) 2×2 ribbing. The stretchy nature of ribbing allows for some leeway when calculating gauge – 1 stitch off in either direction will not adversely affect the fit of the garment.
