Sharing this pattern I made for leftover super bulky yarn. Sharing is good karma.

This shrug is knit in the round from neck down, then sleeves are continued in the round.

Could be knit with all scrap yarn, but I added some fabric strips as scrap yarn. In either case, looks cute if you make cute bows of the yarn joins instead of hiding the yarn joins.

I’m 5’2” tall, 38” bustline, wear medium size 10/12. One size fits most.

Fabric yarn: 59” wide, 96” long.
2” strips w 9” for ties:
96”/2”= 52.5 strips, or 48 strips
48x(59-9)“ = 2400” ‘yarn’
2400” = 67.67 yds
Tied strips together in simple knot with ends about 2” unto decorative bows. Alternatively, could sew strip ends together with thread. I sewed together when ends were in armpit.
