This pattern is a delightful and delicate shrug for a young girl with a sweet floral motif. Pair this with little summer dresses for a look as sweet as can be.

Fiorellina is also the perfect addition to an outfit for a flower girl at a wedding where you could finish it with ribbon ties instead of i-cords!

This shrug has a simple construction with almost no seaming. It features a simple little floral lace motif, raglan shaping, only tiny underarm seams to close at the end closed and, as the border was knit with the garment, there are no stitches to pick-up.
