Notes

I had to add an extra two inches of stockinette stitch to make a good fit. If I were to do this pattern again, I would pick the cast on amount for my size then follow the number of inches for the body for a much larger size. I think the amount of lace seems small compared to the model as well.

I used kitchner stitch to finish the back rather than bind off and seam.

There’s an error in the written directions for the Origami Shrug. In the Stitch Pattern, Rnd 16 should read: K4, yo, k1, yo, sl 1-ssk-psso, rep from to end. The chart on the following page is correct.

Still think it’s a clever pattern and it was easy to make.
