Simply StripedShrug

This simple striped shrug is pure comfort knitting. The thick and thin texture of Billow yarn looks great instockinette. Thin stripes of two similar colors combined with the yarns texture gives the main body of the shrug aslightly tweedy appearance.

Because Billow is a 100% cotton yarn this shrug has the appeal of a nice cozy, chunky knit without being too

warm to wear indoors or as Spring approaches.

The pattern is written in four standard sizes with instructions for customizing your fit.

1 skein each of Tea Rose and Ice Lily (or your two main body colors) will allow you to knit up to a 12 upper armcircumference in sizes small to x-large. To knit a wider armhole youll need another skein of each. If using onlyone color for the main body of the shrug (instead of striping) purchase 2 skeins for up to 12 and another skein forwider armholes. (Remember youll still need a skein for the ribbing as well!)

This design is written in four standard sizes, however, you can easily customize it to fit your uniquemeasurements with some simple math. First, knit a swatch and make sure youre getting gauge (4 sts per inch).Next have someone measure across your back from the shoulder to shoulder. (For me this number is 17.) Add 8inches to this measurement (4 inches for each sleeve). Take the resulting number and multiply it by your stitchesper inch gauge. (So I have 17 + 8 = 25 x 4 = 100.) The final number is the amount of stitches you should cast on.Make sure its a number divisible by 4 + 2 extra stitches for symmetry. (I would then make my cast on 102stitches.) The cast on number corresponds to the finished width measurement.

Your finished upper arm circumference will be determined by the length of the piece you knit (minus the ribbing).Have someone measure around your upper arm just below your armpit. You will want to knit to this number foryour length, or work up to an inch longer for a more relaxed fit.

RS 2: Knit Color C

WS 1:Purl Color B

WS 2: Purl Color C

Repeat these 4 rows until piece is 10 (11.5, 12, 13.5)

or desired length for upper arm circumference.

2 x 2 Ribbing

You will have ended having just knit a WS 2 row. The

RS of your piece should now be facing you.
