Eve's Ribs

### Eve's Ribs Shawl-Collared Shrug Knitting Pattern Discover the elegance of the **Eve's Ribs Shawl-Collared Shrug**, a beautifully designed knitting project that features my unique **Adam's Ribs wandering rib stitch pattern** on the back and arms. The front and collar showcase a lovely, lacy variation that adds a touch of sophistication to this versatile piece. Both stitch patterns are easy to master and reversible, making them perfect for knitters of all skill levels. This flattering shrug is knit in one continuous piece from the top down, allowing for seamless construction. Only simple seams are needed under the arms and down the sides. The pattern includes clear, detailed instructions for **four sizes**—ensuring a great fit for a variety of body types. Additionally, you have the option to choose from **four different sleeve styles**: long tapered sleeves, long sleeves with a flared cuff, mid-length sleeves with a bell shape, and cap sleeves. The shrugs showcased in the images are knitted in a size that measures **39-45 inches** in gray (with long sleeves) and sizes **33-38 inches** in nut (mid-length sleeves) and ocean (cap sleeves), modeled on a **36-inch dress form**. This shrug is designed to have a loose fit, so if you're between sizes or desire a longer back length, it’s highly recommended to opt for the larger size for the best fit. #### Gauge To achieve the perfect fit, ensure you match the gauge: **16 stitches and 25 rows** = **4 inches** in pattern stitch using the smaller needle, after washing and smoothing out the ribs. **Important Note:** Given the unique shape of this shrug, achieving a good fit requires a loose knit. Therefore, it’s not advisable to knit this pattern with thicker yarn or at a tighter gauge, as it could compromise the overall look and feel of the garment. #### Skills Required This pattern will help you enhance your knitting skills, utilizing techniques such as: **increases, decreases, short rows, cable cast-on**, and a **sewn bind-off**. ### Perfect for Any Occasion Whether dressing up for a night out or layering for everyday wear, the Eve's Ribs Shawl-Collared Shrug is a perfect addition to your wardrobe.
