Finished Size 40 (44, 48)“ wide from cuff-to-cuff and 28 (32, 36)” high. Shrug shown measures 40”.

Yarn Brown Sheep Company Lamb’s Pride Bulky (85% wool, 15% mohair; 125 yd 114 m/4 oz 113 g): #M 07 sable, 8 (10, 11) balls.

Needles Size 13 (9 mm): straight. Size 15 (10 mm): 24” circular (cir). Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.

Notions Removable marker (m); tapestry needle.

Gauge 10 sts and 15 rows = 4” in Spot st on larger needle; 10 sts and 14 rows = 4” in St st on smaller needles.

Fold and seam rectangles into an unconventional cardigan. Bulky-weight yarn paired with a bigger needle creates a substantial, yet supple and flowy fabric.
