whit' ... it's gorgeous and we just might have to try that farmhouse bamboo ... the colors are beautiful and one might make more than one of these perfectly useful and versatile shruggy items non?! ... mille baci ...

Gasp! That is beautiful! I hope to make it when I get some free time. Thank you!

it's beautiful!

I am wondering whether this beautiful shrug might be knit up in one piece. By knitting the entire back in stockinette, then joining the stitches back together for knitting in the round and reversing the directions and knitting the second sleeve? It is a very pretty project and the bamboo yarn looks terrific. Thanks so much for sharing it with us!!!

Thanks so much, I see this in my knitted future!!

This is gorgeous! I just love that color.

That is a really beautiful shrug. I have to admit, I haven't thought of them as a fashion item but seeing it on it looks stunning. Thanks for being so generous and sharing the details

It's gorgeous. With many dresses in my closet, it is a perfect match.

thanks for the lovely pattern! i especially like the detail on the sleeve cuffs. ditto on the whole shawl/cardigan fancy-pants problem of what to wear to a decent shindig.

this is so cute! love it!

Beautiful shrug, beautiful model.
And the yarn is drawing me in.
I am way too busy to be drawn in.
I have been avoiding Fanny's Fingering in Wildflower
and the blue/red one next to it for ages.


Melanie-- your idea might work as long as you don't mind that the second sleeve will be 1/2 stitch off.

So beautiful - it looks extremely elegant on. I might have to whip this one up for my summer weddings! Either that or just the unpredictable San Francisco summer weather.

You got skillz, girl! Can I ask what yarn that is, it's truly gorgeous. Bamboo? Silk? Milk?

My daughter is getting married in Maine this summer. Mother-like I had wanted something to give her in case (this is Maine, of course it will get cool!) she got cold later in the evening. I had thought about making her a shawl but when I saw this I saw a wonderful alternative that wouldn't require futzing with while dancing, etc. I made it in a wool/silk blend for warmth.
She loves it and I am happy to have my knitting be part of this special time.
Best of all she plans to wear it post wedding with dresses and jeans.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful shrug and pattern!

I made this for my daughter's wedding last April. I had visions of her and her maid of honor sister throwing a ski parker on over their beutiful dresses. The day was perfect and they didn't really need the shrug until later in the evening. they looked beautiful and were the envy of many of the young ladies there. In fact I now need to make one for my God daughter.
