Asymmetry Lace: a Sampler Shrug
This elegant shrug is worked from cuff to cuff blending a variety of lace patterns. Any solid or semi-solid (i.e. kettle dyed) fingering weight yarn would be lovely. Pattern includes 12 pages of written and charted instructions, with a special help section on creating an “invisible” join in lace and many pictures. Also included are instructions for making a stole rather than a shrug (purchase additional yarn for making a stole).
Finished dimensions:
note: for shorter sleeves, pattern repeats may be omitted as desired
sleeve circumference (width) x cuff tip to cuff tip (length):
Small (16.5” x 58”)
Medium (18” x 62”)
Large (19.5” x 66”)
The body measures (neckline to waist):
Small 26.5”
Medium 29”
Large 31.5”
