This beautiful, warm-weather shrug is the perfect addition to your spring and summer wardrobe. It begins with a provisional cast on, allowing for a seamless integration of the intricate lace pattern that is crafted as a rectangle. Once you've completed the lace, the waste yarn from the provisional cast on is easily removed, and additional stitches are cast on at the underarms for a comfortable fit. The stylish trim is then knitted in the round for several inches, culminating in a delightful, stretchy edge finished with charming picots that add a playful touch!

One of the best features of this shrug is that no seaming is required, making it an accessible project for knitters of all skill levels.
