The Gamboge Shrug is worked in a DK/light worsted yarn and features a cozy folded over collar and a relaxed fit. The clean lines of stockinette stitch create a smooth fabric that drapes effortlessly over the shoulders, while the ribbed detail at the neck, hem, and, cascading down the sides add structure and a polished finish. Perfect for layering over blouses or light sweaters, this shrug is designed for comfort and style, providing warmth without bulk. Ideal for transitional weather or cozy indoor wear.

The size is easily modified by adding or decreasing the amount shoulder increases. You’ll have to do a bit of math, but not too much! If you modify the size, it is very important to know your row gauge because the increases should stop at or before your widest part.
