Clair de Lune

Introducing our beautiful 1920’s-inspired loose shrug knitting pattern, perfect for knitters seeking both elegance and simplicity. This stylish shrug combines two exquisite stitch patterns that are deceptively easy to create, making it an enjoyable project for knitters of all levels. Whether you're layering it over a delicate chemise or rocking it with a casual tank top and jeans, this shrug is versatile and chic for any occasion.

This sophisticated shrug is uniquely knit from side to side in one seamless piece, ensuring a comfortable fit and minimal finishing work. Both the cast-on and bound-off edges on the fronts and sleeves are adorned with a lovely picot edging, adding a touch of charm to your finished piece. Additionally, a few short rows provide extra flutter and movement to the sleeves, enhancing the overall drape of the garment. The only seams required are a few stitches at the shoulders and under the arms, making this shrug a delight to knit and wear.

Sizing: For a truly relaxed fit, the shrug is designed to be very loose. If you’re uncertain about your size, we recommend opting for the next size up to achieve that effortlessly stylish look.

Yarn: This pattern suggests using yarn that typically works up at 25-28 stitches per 4" in stockinette stitch. You can substitute any plump fingering or light sport weight yarn that meets the gauge requirements. For a wonderful warm-weather option, consider Louet Euroflax linen, which adds lightness and breathability to your shrug.

Skills required: This knitting pattern will guide you through essential skills including a knitted cast-on for picot edges, lace knitting that is worked on both the right side and wrong side of the fabric, and short rows (fully explained within the pattern). These techniques will enhance your knitting repertoire while creating a stunning finished product.

Pattern includes: In this comprehensive pattern, you will find clearly written instructions alongside stitch patterns presented in both written and charted formats. Detailed schematics, a helpful glossary, and a list of abbreviations are also included to assist you throughout your knitting journey. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter, this pattern is designed to ensure your success and enjoyment.
