Sometimes the simplest design makes the most dramatic statement—and this wrap front shrug certainly speaks volumes. This unique accessory combines the best of a shrug with the drama of a wrap. Made from the center out, this pattern is entirely customizable, allowing you to adjust the fit across the back and to lengthen or shorten the front panels. Simple rectangles for the body and wrap, and trapezoids for the sleeves allowed us to really go for it with a geometric mirroring lace pattern. Enjoy making this one, then go out and make a statement of your own!
