This shrug is a super quick knit and is flattering to many shapes and figures. When choosing your yarn, you have a wide palette - simply choose a yarn with lots of loft to fill the stitches on a US 13. When in doubt, swatch it! The pattern has multiple sleeve lengths and offers the option to lengthen the body before beginning the V-shaping. Long Live Top Down!

Small Correction (9/14/10) -
For the short sleeve version I calculated the yarn amount with the amount for meters but listed it as yards.

238(238, 238, 238, 300, 360) yds of bulky, high loft yarn
Above is the correct “yardage” amounts.
Thank you and please forgive any inconveniences.
