Looking at the Bond pattern for a quick knitted shrug, I noticed that a lot of them were coming out baggy under the arms. I thought I’d make a more fitted version, especially since as a plus sized girl, I don’t need to look baggier than I already am!

The gauge given is using Caron Simply Soft, with keyplate #2.5.

Estimated Yardage: (450, 475, 500) 530
Skeins of yarn needed: 2, no matter what size. While these yardages are estimated based on the yardage of a sample knit in size XL, they still range between 1 and 2 skeins of Simply Soft.

Sizing information is taken from the CYC size tables. See them here.
