This soft cotton shrug is quick to knit on large needles, and has a striking X pattern on the back to add some interesting detail to a simple shape. The shrug is knit in one piece from cuff to cuff, and comes in three sizes. The stretchy fabric conforms to your body; the sleeves are
slightly tapered and can be adjusted in length during seaming if desired.

This is a 2014 update of a pattern first published by Leisure Arts in 2007.
