This classic shrug is worked from cuff to cuff, the sleeves in a round, the middle part of the body flat. You start by working one of the sleeve, starting with ribbed cuff with increase, then the chart repeat to the desired arm length, you then work flat, until you have enough length to cover the body to the other shoulder, then join your stitches again in a round and finish the second sleeve in mirror fashion. If you need you adjust the length of the middle part, please feel free to add more or reduce the number of rows in the central chart.
