This oversize, slouchy shrug worked in a waffle stitch and knit-as-you-go I-cord edging is a little deceptive in its simplicity: worked horizontally, the seams are grafted and the arm openings finished with an applied I-cord. The result is a perfect balance of refined and rustic, like the work of the artist Andrew Wyeth.
