Two-Colored Shrug

ERRATTA: Please note that Row 15 on the Second Sleeve should be knit across. All future downloads have been updated to reflect this correction.
AND BODY - Right Side Row 1: Using variegated yarn, knit across the entire row.
Row 2: Purl across the row.
Rows 3 and 4: Switch to solid yarn and knit across both rows.
Continue repeating Rows 1-4 until the BODY - Right Side measures approximately 3 1/2 (4 - 4 1/2 - 5) inches in length, ensuring to finish by working Pattern Row 1. The full measurement from the added stitches (which includes all of the Body-Left Side, both Collar Sections, and the Body-Right Side) should total approximately 29 (30 - 31 - 32) inches in width. This chic shrug utilizes a lovely variegated worsted or chunky yarn paired with a solid color, making it an ideal project for that special yarn you've been saving—perfect for your stash busting! The construction method for this pattern seamlessly works from sleeve to sleeve, and it features a stylish turned-down collar. It’s not only warm and comfortable but also a fantastic way to showcase your favorite variegated yarn, especially if you only have three skeins available.
Finished Size: The back neck to front sides measures 14 3/4 (15 - 15 3/4 - 16) inches on each side (note: this measurement does not include the sleeves, which measure 6 inches long). The neck to waist length measures 27 1/2 (29 1/2 - 31 1/2 - 33 1/2) inches. This versatile shrug is perfect for layering in cooler weather, making it a staple in any wardrobe.
