Ribbed Drape Collar Shrug Knitting Pattern
Discover the charm of effortless style with our Ribbed Drape Collar Shrug knitting pattern, designed specifically for beginner knitters! This exceptionally simple piece combines ease of construction and versatility, making it a perfect fashion basic to enhance your wardrobe. The shrug gently drapes on the body, ensuring a flattering fit for most shapes and sizes, while providing a cozy layer for any occasion.
Originally crafted using Rowan's Organic Cotton in the beautiful shade of Oak Apple (990), this shrug showcases the rich texture and warmth of natural fibers. If you’re seeking alternatives, it’s important to note that Rowan’s Purelife Organic Cotton has been discontinued. However, you can easily substitute it with either Rowan’s 100% Cotton in Double Knit or Drops’ 100% Cotton Double Knit known as ‘Safran’. There are plenty of options out there—most double knit cottons will work well, provided that the tension matches the original pattern specifications (22 stitches x 30 rows in stocking stitch over a 10cm x 10cm gauge).
This Ribbed Drape Collar Shrug is not just functional but also an enjoyable project for knitters of all skill levels. The elegant design makes it suitable for layering over dresses, t-shirts, or even a casual outfit, making it a versatile addition to your knitting repertoire. Whether you’re knitting gifts for friends or creating something special for yourself, this pattern is sure to delight!
