GAUGE: 14 sts = 4"; 20 rows = 4" in St st. CHECK YOUR
GAUGE. Use any size needles to obtain the gauge.
To Fit Bust: 28-30 (32-34, 36-38)".
NOTE: Shrug is designed to fit snugly.
SLEEVE (Make 2): Cast on 23 (27, 29) sts. Knit 5
rows. Now work in St st, beg K row, shaping sides by
inc 1 st each end of 7th row, then every 6th row until
there are 45 (49, 51) sts. Work even until 161/2 (17,
171/2)" from beg, end K row. Place a marker at each

Leave sts on holder. Leave a long length of yarn
attached to the second sleeve. TIP: The back seam of
our shrug was grafted, but if you prefer to sew the back
seam, bind off the stitches, then sew the back seam.
FINISHING: Graft back sts together: Place stitches of
first sleeve on a needle. With wrong sides together and
right side of second sleeve facing you on Needle 1 and
first sleeve on Needle 2, thread the long length of yarn
from the second sleeve into a yarn needle. Keeping the
yarn needle and yarn under the points of the knitting
needles, work as follows:
* Pass yarn needle through first st of Needle 1 as if to
knit and slip the stitch off, pass through 2nd st of
Needle 1 as if to purl, but leave the stitch on the
Needle; pass yarn needle through first st on Needle 2
as if to purl and slip the stitch off, pass yarn needle
through 2nd stitch on Needle 2 as if to knit, but leave
stitch on Needle. Rep from * until all the sts are
joined. Fasten off. Take care to draw yarn up so that
gauge of grafting equals gauge of knitted sts.
Sew sleeve seam to markers.
