The writeup on the pattern given in the book reads as follows: “
The body of this merino wool shrug is worked in one piece, but the real magic lies in the shaping. Figuring out how to put on the piece for the first time may be a bit of a puzzler, but once you slip into its cozy contours, you’ll love the snug, slimming fit.”
