This cosy shrug is very easy to knit – a beginner could master this quite easily. Knitted in 2 pieces and seamed at the back, means you don’t have to have too many stitches on the needle at once.
The little ribbed sleeves are knitted separately afterwards. Alternately, you can leave these off for a different look.

Close up the front with a fancy pin or brooch or leave open. Great with skinny jeans and boots.
