I bought the yarn for this pattern while on a vacation to Oak Island, NC. The yarn really reflected the colors of the beach in early September when we visited. The local yarn shop was beautiful and I enjoyed shopping. Although my visit was brief, I enjoy wearing this shrug and being reminded of my vacation. I hope you’ll enjoy wearing it when the breeze cools your shoulders.

Materials:
Color A: 2 skeins Colinette Isis, Colorway 127
Color B: 1 skein Colinette Giotto, Colorway 127
Color C: 1 skein Lion Brand Cotton Ease, Color Almond
US 10 needles for cuffs, US 11 circular needle, 24”-32” length
Size I, 5.5mm crochet hook for edging
Two stitch markers
Yarn needle for weaving ends

Size:
Finished shrug measures 60” cuff to cuff and 21” high at center back.

Gauge:
10 sts=4” in stockinette stitch with color B. This shrug uses all of the available yarn, so if you want to keep your swatch, you’ll need to purchase an additional skein of color B.

This pattern is rated intermediate for multiple color changes, crochet border, and mitered back.
