Offered in a wide range of sizes, the Molokini Shrug pattern is tailor-made for those precious few skeins (from 2 to 4 depending on size made) of Sundara’s Aran Silky Merino - the ones you almost can’t bear to use because the color is so gorgeous.

The elegant and easy-to-memorize lace stitch pattern combines with a feminine picot bind-off and flattering fit, resulting in a go-to garment for cool summer nights as well as overly air-conditioned offices.

US size 8 needles make this a quick-knit project, and the one-piece construction means you can start it on Wednesday and wear it by the weekend.
