A real head turner....
The new Effren shrug is showing off a gorgeous lace pattern, so it has a touch of dazzle, doesn't it?
It feels pretty wonderful too, knitted with our new Bamboo yarn. The fit is comfortably loose for extra comfort.
The front piece is a little wider to create a bit of a dropped neckline, the back goes straight from wrist to wrist. You may decide to make both sides the same, the option is given in the instructions. Garter stitch borders are meeting on the top of the shoulders, sleeves, around the neckline and again at the bottom border. The two pieces are seamed along the shoulders and sleeves and voila, you are ready to wear your stunning shrug~
The pattern is fully written and also offers a lace chart.
The slightly blocked shrug measures 23" around the sleeves and 51" in overall length from wrist to wrist.
