A pretty shrug is a must-have for summer, and this soft pink is one of this season’s hot colours. Perfect for pairing with your favourite summer dress.

A shrug like this is such a versatile accessory – it’ll look lovely over a summer dress, but will also be perfect for dressing up jeans and a t shirt. This pattern uses a simple lace stitch which is easy to memorise. There’s no shaping to worry about – just knit the middle, then the two sleeves and finally add the garter stitch band around the front.
