Knit Shrug

Lion Brand^® Homespun^®

GAUGE:

12 sts + 18 rows = 4” [10 cm] in Seed st with larger needles. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Row 1 (RS) *K 1, p 1; rep from *.
Row 2 (WS) Purl the knit sts and knit the purl sts.
Rep row 2 for Seed st.

M1 as if to purl (make 1 st as if to purl) An increase worked by lifting the horizontal thread lying between the needles and placing it onto the left needle. Purl this new stitch through the back loop.

Knit Shrug Reviewed by Diane Meier on 2008-11-18
I loved this pattern. I'm an intermediate knitter and I found this pattern well written, easy to follow. I wasn't fond of all of the picking up of stitches around the opening, but once I got past that point, it was all pleasurable to knit. I used another suitable yarn that I already had on hand, but plan to make another shrug for a Christmas present using the Homespun.
