The Plum Shrug

The Plum Shrug is a close-fitting, short cardigan, knitted top down in one piece, a la Barbara Walker. The sleeves are worked in a simple lace pattern from Walkerʼs First Treasury of Knitting Patterns. Edges are finished with two rows of single crochet. This sweater is easy to adjust to your particular fit or gauge as you work.

Suggested substitutions: Debbie Bliss Cathay, Tahki Cotton Classic, Jo Sharp So Ho Summer. Avoid substituting an acrylic-dominant yarn, as the garment will curl and blocking will not help.
