From the designer, Pam Allen, about this pattern:



I like to sleep with the window cracked open — every night of the year. But warm as I might be under the covers, I can get chilly when I’m sitting up in bed reading. So it seemed that a soft, weightless shrug would serve me well. I won’t be slipping it on over anything too brief, but it will still look good over the T-shirt I like to sleep in. Besides, I love to knit shrugs. They’re mindless knitting at its best — I get to knit an interesting pattern without having to figure out shaping or finishing. What a dream!

This project is shown on pages 50-51 of Interweave Knits, Spring 2007. The pattern is NOT in the magazine, however. Readers are instructed to find instructions on the website www.interweaveknits.com.
