This cozy little shrug begins by working the center back cable and lace
panel, then picking up stitches along the sides of the panel to continue the
back and form the sleeves. Ribbed trims complete the piece. Worked in a
soft bulky yarn in multiple simple texture stitches, this is not only a quick
knit, but also a fun one.
