ARABELLA is a great weekend project!

An off-the-shoulder shrug knit flat in one piece from cuff to cuff with just two seams to join, it yields quick results and a lovely appearance; with nice contours to flatter and drape, this is not just another rectangle.

Although one size fits most, the pattern is fully customizable — back length/width, circumference of upper arm, sleeve length, etc. — for anyone, provided body-part measurements (in arm and/or torso areas) are taken accurately, simply by adding or subtracting rows and/or stitches appropriately.

The ARABELLA shrug features full upper-arm coverage and bracelet-length sleeves, all in a fun, flirty off-the-shoulder style that flatters and draws the eye upward to focus on you.

Also, the richly detailed faux-cable center back panel is a breeze to knit (once you know how!).
