Textured Circle Shrug

Lion Brand® LB Collection® Organic Wool

GAUGE:

18 sts and 26 rows = 4" (10cm) stripe, using larger needle. 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.

STITCH EXPLANATION:

PFB (PURL 1 FRONT AND BACK): Inc 1 st by purling into the front and back of the next st.

RLI (RIGHT LIFTED INCREASE): Inc 1 st by inserting the tip of the right needle into the back of the st 1 row below the next stitch on the needle, and then into the next stitch on the needle. For further explanation of RLI, please see the knit-along post related to this topic by clicking here.

M1P (MAKE 1 PURLWISE): Inc 1 st by picking up the bar between the next st and the st just knit and purling it.

TEXTURED STRIPE
Work textured stripe over any number of sts.
ROWS 1–5: Work in Rev St st.
ROWS 6–13: Work in St st.
Rep Rows 1–13.
NOTE: Because this is a 13–row rep, Row 1 will be alternately a RS and then a WS row.

SEED STITCH
Work seed st over a multiple of 2 sts + 1.
RND 1: *P1, k1; rep from * to last st, p1.
RND 2: *K1, p1; rep from * to last st, k1.
Rep Rnds 1–2.

Textured Circle Shrug Reviewed by Sally Wong on 2009-10-02 ****
My shrug turned out beautifully. It was such an interesting way to put the shrug together, by picking up the stitches all around the edge to knit in circle--producing the collar, the fronts and the bottom back at once. It is chic and one of my favorite knitted things. I had to keep it for myself. There were a couple of funky places in the pattern description, but use your logic and it will turn out fine. (I've been knitting one year.)
