Pure simplicity is the basis for this twist on a sleeve shrug. Here, we’ve taken the rectangle and given it a gentle curve to provide subtle shaping for the sleeves and main body. By working progressively taller and then shorter stitches across the Non-Stick Lace Feather and Fan stitch, we created shaping that you won’t even notice you’re working. And wait until you block this one. It’s all about the stitch pattern, and the Non-Stick Lace Feather and Fan is going to take your breath away.
