Description

This is such a sweet little shrug! It would look amazing over a long tank with jeans or a skirt. It's hard to find these things in the thrift shop, so just make one... you get the style you want, and you get to pick the color and size. This one is mohair, but you could make it out of any type of yarn you want.

This listing is for the knitting pattern only. It is a .pdf file that is available for imediate download after purchase.

This pattern is originally from Spinnerin, Volume 150, published in 1962. This is no longer in circulation, so in order to make it available for more vintage loving knitters, I am transcribing the instructions exactly as written in the original pattern book and offering them here.

Directions are for VINTAGE Women's size 12, 14 and 16. Sizing is according to this chart from the original pattern book:

Size 12 14 16
Bust 34” 36” 38”

Waist 25” 26” 28”

Shoulder Back 13” 13 ¾ 14 ½”

Armhole Depth 7 ¼” 7 ½7 ¾”
Waist to Underarm 8” 8” 8 ½”

If you are crafty, you can probably adjust the pattern to fit larger sizes.
