This vintage-inspired shrug is easy to knit and easy to wear. The body is knit flat in a simple lace rib, then seamed from cuffs to armholes. The collar and edging is worked last in a stretchy brioche stitch. The sizes given are a guideline, but it's quite simple to adjust the shrug to your body as you go.
