The Apathetic Shruggie is a seamless crew-neck shruggie with a simple, drop-shoulder construction that will give you a lukewarm hug on a chilly day.

Constructed from the top down, the shoulders are knit back and forth before being connected in the round to form the body. The sleeves are picked up in the round at the shoulders and feature ribbed edging.

This pattern is written for intermediate knitters and was designed using a strand of Hobbii Divina yarn (50g/150m) held together with one strand of mohair yarn (25g/200m). Substitutions are welcome, but be sure to check gauge before starting!
