One Skein Shrug
This pattern was written to quickly make a light easy-to-wear shrug from one skein of fingering. I used my own sparkle hand dyed called “Wedding Season Silver” to make something I can wear over dresses on my upcoming anniversary trip. Being a looser knit, it works in the summertime as a light layer. It is simply a stockinette rectangle with grafted sides at the arms. The edges will roll, but that is a design feature here. Using a natural fiber, looser knit fabric, and wet blocking will limit the rolling to a smaller amount.
UPDATE NOVEMBER 16, 2019. I have done a sample in one skein (200g/660 yards) of sport/dk weight and video showing you some of the same steps such as the grafting. The yarn is Universal Colorburst in colorway Earth and Sky. I have also done an optional afterthought buttonhole at the very end.
Video link is in the pattern, which is a free download from my website.
