This knitted lacey spring/summer shrug will knit up quickly in a worsted weight cotton yarn. It will keep your shoulders warm when the sun goes down.

Any worsted weight yarn will work very well with this pattern. I picked a cotton since I knew it would soft against bare skin when worn over a tank top.

A pair of 24” circular 10.5 needles are all that are needed for this piece.

The finished measurement are: 14” x 53” which will give you 3/4 sleeves. If you want to make it longer to cover your entire arm, just keep working in the pattern (you will need more yardage). To make the piece wider or shorter just add or subtract in multiples of
two.

I look forward to seeing your finished shrugs!
Enjoy your Day
