Fringed Shrug
Lion Brand® Landscapes®
GAUGE:
10 sts + 16 rows = 4 inches [10 cm] in Garter st (k every row) on larger needles. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
NOTES:
Shrug is a shaped rectangle with ends sewn to form sleeves. Fringe is added around sleeve cuffs.

Fringed Shrug Reviewed by karen shapiro on 2009-05-24
loved this pattern! very easy to make and it came out just like the picture. the only thing i found is that the 59 1/2" length would have been too long for me (even tho it's 1 size fits all). so just check your length and you'll be fine.
