Madame Entrechat Fingering

Is it chilly in the office? Need the perfect layer to compliment a pretty dress? Ideal for gift-giving (even for teens!) and a great way to use up a few lone skeins of that special yarn, this fun, fast knit will be your go-to when you’re looking for an easy project with a sophisticated result.

This shrug is constructed in an unusual manner. It is knit from the top down, from the back neck and shoulders to the underarms. The sleeve stitches are then put on hold and the back stitches are worked together with stitches picked up along each front raglan (diagonal edges of sleeve sections) to form the back and fronts of the body in one piece. An easy textured band adds visual interest. For all sizes except XXXL, short rows are worked in the back. Sleeves are worked in the round, and can be worked as short, elbow-length or long sleeves.
