My New Shrug

[TepperWear]

After months of trying to get this done, I finally got it written out and published to my website. I have to give Mrs. Who credit for the idea, although mine is made somewhat differently. I know people have been asking her for an exact pattern, so maybe this will work for them. The idea for the collar came from trying to dissect the edging on the pink Shrug Oprah wore sometime ago on her show. Anyway, I hope you like it, and if you make it, please let me know, and if you have any problems please let me know as well. Scroll down to the list of patterns.

You're all very welcome. It's my way of giving back to the community that has given me so much, especially when I was first learning.

:ty I'm so glad it's written out in plain english!! What size is your finished one, that will give me an idea of how many more stitches to add if needed.

Gorgeous!!

Here's the yarn: http://www.knitpicks.com/yarns/yarn_display.aspx?itemid=5420107 It says it's sport weight, but you can use ww yarn, just start with less chains. Make a chain around your forearm that fits a bit loose.

Well it fits me and I wear a bra size 34C. I would say it's a small.

I just found this pattern yesterday. I have already printed it out and I have started on it already.

 

They pattern is wrote very well! Thank you!

Very beautiful shrug. I just printed it off yesterday afternoon and started on it about 2 p.m.. All I have left to do is tuck ends and I will be able to wear it to work this afternoon. It is written very well. Thank you for sharing the pattern. I used a boucle yarn in tan and for those interested it took about 11- 1.7 ounce skeins that I bought at Target.

Wow!! You already made it? That is so awesome. I'm thrilled to hear that the pattern was written well. I'm not that experienced at it, but I really tried. Target sells yarn?

[reecie]

OMG! that's totally cute...as are your models! i'm gonna have to try that. might make it longer, if it will work, i'm too fat for shrugs

I started working on it last night. I was using a heavier worsted weight yarn because that's what I had a lot of. I finished a sleeve and was starting on the back when I realized the yarn I was using was a bit too thick for my tastes. I can't wait to get to the store and buy some sportweight so I can finish it. The pattern is really easy to follow...good job!
