The Cozy Blanket Shrug

Did I mention that I love shrugs? I guess that’s why I simply had to write another shrug pattern. This one follows a typical rectangle shrug pattern. First making a large rectangle, then folding it in half and sewing the sleeves. But from there I had to give it my own little spin, adding a gracefully sloping collar and lengthening the sleeves. Resulting in a garment that will be warm, stylish and practical. I hope you enjoy making yours as much as I enjoyed making mine.
