The Dayzee Chain Shrug was one of the first shrug patterns I designed several years ago. My personal ones, that I have worn frequently, still look great. They have become a staple in my wardrobe for over a pretty dress or jeans and a t-shirt or with a nice top and dressy trousers. I always get compliments and nice comments when I wear one. This pattern turns 3 or 4 balls of cotton yarn into something special.

This pattern is intermediate skill level. It requires that you know how to pick up and knit stitches, make stitches and the basics of lace knitting.

Intermediate skill level.
