Leap Right In Shrug

This delightful knitting pattern is specially designed for DK Weight yarn, knit with double stranded technique on 8mm needles, making it perfect for creating cozy and stylish garments.

GAUGE: Achieve a comfortable fit with a gauge of 11 stitches and 17 rows, ensuring your project turns out just right.

CONSTRUCTION: The pattern begins with knitting a flat panel that is then folded and seamed to create functional armholes, providing a unique and modern shape to your garment.

The garment offers versatile finishing options: a) complete it as is, without sleeves and without a torso border for a minimalist look, b) opt to add sleeves, while keeping the torso border absent for a refined silhouette, or c) create a fully finished piece with sleeves and with a torso border for a more sophisticated finish.

Sleeve stitches are effortlessly picked up and knit top down, in the round, while torso border stitches are also picked up and knitted in the round for seamless continuity.

This thoughtful construction process means that anyone outside the standard size range can easily modify the pattern for a custom fit. With simple, clear modification instructions included, you’ll find that this design is remarkably easy to adapt. Full guidance is provided for modifications, and we encourage you to embrace your creativity—this is a VERY EASY pattern to modify!

Important Note: The estimated yarn quantity provided is tailored for the complete garment, inclusive of sleeves and featuring a twisted rib border on the torso piece. Be sure to check your yarn stash and make adjustments based on your personal touch!

Perfect for both beginners and seasoned knitters, this versatile pattern will become a staple in your knitting repertoire. Enjoy creating your own fashionable piece with ease and style!
