On your big day—or any other special occasion—you want to be wearing something that is both personally meaningful and one of a kind. This stunning shrug can live up to that challenge due to the floral lace stitch interspersed with many little shiny beads and its beaded picot bind off.

The shrug is started with a provisional cast-on from the center back working flat, then the piece is joined in the round out to work the long, tapered sleeves that partially cover the palm. Then, the provisional cast-on is unraveled and the shrug is completed working the other sleeve.

On a delicate lace mesh background a strip is worked in a floral lace stitch interspersed with many little shiny beads.

The work is completed with a beaded picot bind off.
