Sporty Skye Knit Lace Shrug Free Pattern

Sporty Skye Knit Lace Shrug Free Pattern
by Kristin Omdahl

This feminine and whimsical knit lace shrug knits up quickly with the use of elongated twist stitches. Make this in only a few shorts hours for a special occasion or a last minute gift. And it only takes one ball of Be So Sporty Yarn. You will love the luxurious drape of this fabric against your skin, and the sheen is so elegant, too.

US8 (5mm) knitting needles

Gauge: each 18 stitch repeat is 5” wide after blocking

Finished size(s): 24” wide x 20” tall when flat, after blocking

As a shrug it has a customize-able fit depending on where you sew the sleeve seams. The shrug shown has 3” sleeve seams and is open 18” across the center.

Special stitches:
Elongated twist stitch: inset needle in next st, yo both needles 3 times, yo right needle
