A while back I asked a group of ladies here what kind a pattern they would like to see. The first response was from knilesknitter, and she said she would love a shrug that covered her breasts and stayed there. She loves the circle shrugs, but hates when they don’t actually close. This pattern is my answer to her problem. I have worked hard at being sure it will cover you up, whatever size you are!
