This versatile shrug is worked in two pieces sideways, beginning at the centre front. The large cables are worked on the very edge of the knitting which gives a pretty, wavy edge to the shrug. The double ring in reverse stocking stitch neatly diguises the centre seam and also draws up the front. A simple crochet chain is used to slot through the upper cables and can then be used to draw up the width of the upper edge to suit, and then tied in a bow.
