Best for intermediate-level knitters. This shrug is a nearly seamless, in-the-round construction that is worked from the end of sleeve, then flat across the back. The other sleeve is worked in the same manner to the underarm. Then the two pieces are attached using the Kitchener stitch. Next stitches are picked up and worked in the round for the lacy rib, finished with a knit picot edging.

Shrugs are fairly flexible for sizing, so I’ve put together just two sizes: small (S) and large (L). If you are a size medium, then either choose whether you prefer a snug or loose sweater or follow my tips for adjustments for fine control over the size.
