A simple granny square becomes a cosy, oversized shrug with wide lapels, worked up in bulky Álafoss Lopi with a big hook for softness and drape.

The shrug is constructed from a large granny square worked in the round, with added rows on two sides. A wide lapel is worked in rows after joining, and cuffs are worked in the round.
