I’ve been wanting to knit something between a sweater and a shrug to wear over dresses so I designed this fun little layering piece. It’s knit flat using a simple lace repeat, then seamed together. There are instructions to customize your sweater length, how to interchange your arm and bust size, and options for either a cap sleeve or long sleeve version.
