Enjoy this pattern and do me a favor and add it to your faves, I would very much appreciate it. You’ll find the knit kits in my shop Yarnz2GO Either way you go, I wish you happy knitting!

First I created a cowl, then I decided it would make a great shrug. So here it is, the matching shrug to the Foliage cowl

The shrug is knitted in the round and flat with an absolutely gorgeous lace pattern gracing both sleeves. That ribbing that is happening in the sleeves is carried right through the middle/back of the body. It’s so nice! The lace pattern decreases and increases throughout but comes right back to the original cast on number.

The sizes range from 34” to 50” in bust.
The pattern is fully written, includes a how to video link and offers a chart for the stitch pattern.
