Pretty and stylish, this shrug is ideal for afternoons in the garden when the air is just starting to cool down a shade. It would look lovely with creamy colours but would be equally stunning contrasted with dark colours too. Pale green is a brand new colour for this season in King Cole’s Bamboo Cotton range, so it’s right up to the minute.

King Cole’s Bamboo Cotton also comes as 4ply. If you’re feeling adventurous you could make this shrug using the 4ply version of the yarn. You will get a lighter, lacier look and feel if you use the same needle size. Remember to make a tension swatch first. though!
