A great little shrug … feels like a shawl with sleeves to keep the arms and shoulders warm and cozy.

Construction: Potawatomi shrug is worked flat from cuff to cuff. Underarms are shaped by binding off and casting on,
and front edges shaped using simple decreases and increases. Ribbing is picked up and knitted on circular needles,
and wraps around bottom back, sides and back neck.
This is a suitable project for an advanced beginner knitter.

Sizes: XS (S, M L, XL, XXL). Shown in size S on a dressform with a 34” bust.
