I enjoyed this pattern. It wasn’t too complex or too boring. It was also a pretty quick knit. I made the small.

After the first neck trim increase round I only worked 9 or 10 rows in the k1 p1 rib instead of 12 because I didn’t want my shrug to be too long.

I didn’t keep track of how many rows of seed stitch I did around the neck trim, but I think it was less than 22.

I read that some other Ravelers had problems with the back bulging, but I didn’t.
