I’m making this shrug to cover up my post partum chub while I serve as a bridesmaid in my friend’s wedding. I hope that it will make its way into my regular wardrobe afterwards.

I was unsure as to which size I should make since the area of my bust that has increased will not be covered by the shrug. I went with the 42 inch size since I read that the pattern runs small, and my tension is naturally tight. Better a little too big than a little too small!
