• Gauge: 5 sts = 1 inch on US6 dpns

• Cast-on for the 13” size, but only increased up to 55 sts for the 11” size.

• Lace pattern is easy to memorize, but be careful not to “lose” any of the yarn overs if using dpns.

• Lifted increases instead of the pattern’s M1s.

• Knit the sleeves to 12” (they end just past my elbows)

• My back measurement was 16 inches. I worked one side to 14” and the other side to 2”, then Kitchener-ed them together (Using JustUnwinding’s suggestion).

• Single crocheted (with size “G”) two rows around entire edge of shrug to keep it from curling. The bottom edge has a 1 1/2 inch band of single crochet.

My cousin’s bridal shower is in March, but I want to wear one of my jersey summer dresses so I definitely need something to cover my arms
