During the test for Chianti Top, some testers started to talk about the tiny straps of the top and the fact that someone doesn’t love to have naked shoulders. I thought that a shrug could do the work, plus the top and the shrug can be a great two pieces set. This shrug has the same lace pattern and the same yarn of Chianti top. They can be worn toghether or not. Knit in pure linen, this shrug covers your shoulders while keeping you fresh in the hottest days of summer

CONSTRUCTION NOTES
This knit is worked in one piece with no seaming. It starts with a provisional cast on and then is worked flat,
back and forth. After the desired length is achieved, the rectangle is folded, the stitches from provisional cast
on are picked back on the needles and the knit is joined to work in the round.

YARN
Linen Spirits, 100% linen, 4 ply, 100 gr / 3,5 Oz, 400 m. / 440 yards
About 600 - 800 m. About 660 to 870 yards

Circular 3 mm (US 2 1/2) needles and 3,5 mm (US 4) on 80 cm (32”) cable.
