“THIS FEMININE shrug is knitted in entrelac construction,” says designer Jennie Atkinson. “This technique gives an interesting textural finish, but is difficult to shape! Because of this I have used it to make a large shrug – which doesn’t require much shaping. A drop- stitch pattern at the centre of each rectangle adds interested to the design.” The shrug is knitted sideways in two identical pieces, then seamed at the cast-on edge to form the back seam. A back V-neck is shaped by leaving part of the seam open to form the neck edge. The ribbed collar is worked along this edge, while a ribbed edging is worked around the body from neck corner to neck corner.
