Sienna Shrug, English
38,00 DKK
The Sienna Shrug is an easy-to-wear shoulder-poncho/shrug. Use it over shirts, dresses, jackets and t-shirts, or use it as an extra-large cowl with your winter coat.
I invite you to play with colors. The pattern suggests 4 different colors, but you can use as many as you like. Because you have the main section in one color, you can add lots of colors and still get a cohesive result.
The main section is worked in a beautiful Rose Pattern, the ,long ribbing on the body is worked in stripes, just as the double neckline.
The pattern is written for 4 basic sizes, with instructions on how to work the shrug exactly to your measurements.

Fit
Sienna Shrug is designed to be worn with a tighter fit – from 15 cm negative ease to 5 cm positive ease. The material is very stretchy, so if you are between sizes, I recommend using the smaller of the two as your starting point, and then follow the instructions on how to modify the size as you knit. I also recommend using a needle with a very long cable, so it will be easy for you to try on the shrug as you work.
Photos show a size 2 worn with 15 cm / 6 in negative ease.
