Knitted in the round, this shrug can be pulled down over the shoulders as a stylish seamless wrap, worn more loosely at the neck, or snugly pulled up and over the head, as a snood.

The coulourwash is simple, and this all takes place in the background yarns. The accent yarn - white - never changes. This yarn both creates the simple Fairisle pattern and carries the beads.

Yarns used double throughout.
