A quick and easy shrug to keep you warm without bulk. Raglan back armholes give you a better fit. This would even look great in a cotton blend yarn with shorter sleeves to spruce up your spring/summer wardrobe.
A faux ribbed cable runs up each sleeve and on each side of the back along the raglan shaping.
The pieces are worked back and forth, then joined after binding off a few stitches for the armholes. The yoke is worked in one piece, and includes a short collar to cover the back of your neck on those chilly days.
