Spring Shrug

A shrug that can be used as a delicate layer to add a quick splash of colour in Spring like tones to your wardrobe. This pattern is worked using the yarn held double to create a luxuriously warm fabric with all the lightness of our lace weight yarn. Worked from the bottom up with short sleeves and a deep two by two rib to break up the lace panels.
