Teal-Snow Shrug
Fancy for a squishy shrug? Here is the story on how the white yarn became a teal-snow string stitched into an everyday wrap. Simple and quick to make. Enjoy!

SAMPLE INFO
size of the blocked rectangle: 80 x 100 cm (31 ½ x 39 ⅜ in)
After sewing, it is a loose garment and it will fit any person wearing M or L size. Adjusting the size of the basic rectangle will change the sizing of the finished garment, thus any size is possible to be made based on this pattern.
CONSTRUCTION
Knitted in one piece as a rectangle, joined with side seams into the final shape and then finished with crochet edging.
This shrug requires blocking.
INSTRUCTIONS
The pattern includes written instructions, photographs and tips.
