A light shrug that’s easy and quick to make that you’ll find goes with absolutely everything, making it the perfect addition to your Fall/Autumn capsule wardrobe. The waterfall front and wide half-sleeves create a very flattering silhouette.

This cardi knits up quickly on 9 mm needles, creating a beautiful drape and soft fabric that’s perfect for layering, and effortless everyday style. Use mohair for best results.

Worked in stockinette (so just knits and purls), it’s a wonderfully relaxing project for beginners. The construction is simple, using only gentle shaping through easy decreases (knit 2 together and purl 2 together).

One of the best features of this shrug is its versatility. Wear it loose for an effortless look, tie the fronts together, or secure it with your favourite brooch or shawl pin for an elegant finish.

The cardigan calls for 80g-100g-120g-150g as per sizes.
The main part is knitted on 9mm needles, while the sleeve hem is done on needles size 5mm (you can also use 4mm, 4.5mm, this part doesn’t have to be exact).
