Intriguing construction is surprisingly easy, with surprising results. The striped yarn gives this shrug/jacket pizazz, but you can also make a more subdued version in a bulky weight solid, using texture to define the shape. The pattern is reprised in the Best of Knitter’s series book Jackets for Work & Play - this reprint includes schematics. The same number of yards is needed for either size.

Note:This pattern requires two circular needles in 16” and 24” lengths. Two sizes: S-46” & L-50”.

Instructions are also included for the jacket made in a bulky weight solid colored yarn version.
