Description (from Knit It! Magazine, Fall 2005):


“Willing to forgo a fisherman’s sweater but love its warmth and comfort? Then this shrug is for you. This version exaggerates traditional Aran details with a pattern knit lengthwise, an oversize portrait collar, and an extra-wide button band. Add large buttons to match, or choose bright, bold colors to extress your individuality. You’re going to want to live in this shrug come those cold winter months.”
