This is a pretty easy pattern to make, using the shrug as its foundation. When you go to the website and see the Uncommon Threads episode, Hooked on Shrugs (DUCT-140) on the DIY Network, you’ll note that there are four patterns: the shrug, the shracket (shrug + jacket), the shroat (shrug + coat), and the shrap (shrug + wrap). Actually, I think mine is a shroat.

Alas, I frogged this one. The circular bottom just didn’t flatter my rear .

Update: The pattern is no longer available at Uncommon Threads. However, you can find a link to it on Marlene Polnett’s Ravelry page.
