Inspired by Claire’s shawl from Outlander, this piece leans into warmth and ease—my own cozy interpretation, knit in plush bulky weight yarn.

Design Features

• Cozy tube-style shrug in 1×1 rib
• Lovely relaxed gauge for cushy drape and ease
• Seamless construction; clean edges
• Simple, modern silhouette that layers effortlessly

Construction & Techniques

• Worked seamlessly in the round from cast-on to bind-off
• 1×1 rib throughout (k1, p1)
• Bind off in pattern; weave in ends; light block

Materials & Specifications

• Yarn: Bulky #5; sample shown in Lion Brand Hue + Me, 2 skeins
• Needles: 5.5 mm (US 9) circular, 24–32” cable (or size to obtain gauge)
• Notions: stitch marker (BOR), tapestry needle, scissors

Gauge

14 sts × 14 rnds = 4” (10 cm) in 1×1 rib, lightly relaxed after blocking

Knit a swatch and adjust needle size as needed to match this relaxed fabric

Finished Size

• Circumference: 26” (66 cm)
• Width (flat): 13” (33 cm)
• Length: 18” (46 cm)

Skill Level

Beginner-friendly (knit/purl in the round)

Usage

• Toss over tees, dresses, and tanks for easy warmth without bulk
• Great TV knit and stash buster in neutrals or brights

Customization

• To adjust circumference: cast on in multiples of 2; at ~3.5 sts/in, each +2 sts ≈ +0.6” (1.6 cm)
• To adjust length: work more/ fewer rounds to desired measurement
• Try a longer cable for more relaxed knitting if your tube feels snug on a 24” needle

Care

• Follow fiber label; generally, gentle hand wash, lay flat to dry
• Light blocking (seam works great) preserves that soft, relaxed rib
