#101 Quick Shawl-Collared Shrug
Sometimes, you just need a little something to elegantly cover your shoulders. Introducing a stylish solution—our quick knit, shawl-collared shrug! This versatile garment features a unique textured, open rib stitch that beautifully contrasts with a chic 2x2 ribbed shawl collar. Adding the perfect finishing touch are the ribbed cap sleeves, making it an ideal addition to your wardrobe.
This seamless design begins with the back, knitted from the bottom up, ensuring a comfortable fit with minimal seams. After completing the back, stitches are picked up around the edges to knit the remainder of the shrug in the round, resulting in a smooth and professional finish.
Short rows are cleverly utilized to give the shawl collar its flattering shape and to create the lovely cap sleeves that complete the armholes. This makes the shawl-collared shrug a fantastic choice for layering over sexy tank dresses or slim long-sleeved tops, providing both warmth and style.
What’s more, this pattern is lightweight on yarn; smaller sizes only require 2-3 skeins, making it an economical project as well. Perfect for knitters of all skill levels, this shrug is ideal for quick evening outings or casual daytime wear.
The sample showcased is crafted from Knit Picks Swish Bulky, ensuring a cozy feel that’s perfect for cooler days. Be sure to check our suggested yarn substitutes below to find the perfect match for your project!
