What is Being Made
The Sonoma Shrug is a close-fitting knitted bolero designed to gently hug the upper back and shoulders. This elegant garment is specifically created to complement sleeveless or open-back tops and dresses, making it versatile for both everyday wear and special occasions such as wedding parties. The design offers a wide range of sizes for women, providing options across multiple fit ranges.
Design Features and Techniques
This shrug showcases the Cabernet Cable lace as its defining design element, combining cable work with lace techniques to create a visually interesting and sophisticated fabric texture. The cable lace pattern adds both visual appeal and structural integrity to the garment while maintaining the delicate aesthetic suitable for layering over dresses and formal wear.
Stitches and Stitch Work
The Sonoma Shrug employs cable stitches and lace stitches as primary construction techniques. The integration of cable patterns with lace creates an intricate fabric that requires intermediate to advanced knitting skills. This combination of techniques produces a fabric with depth and texture while maintaining the lightweight, elegant drape necessary for a shrug worn over summer garments.
Yarn and Materials
This pattern is designed for fingering weight and sport weight yarns, with specific recommendations for merino or merino blend fibers in solid or semisolid colors. Suggested yarns include:
- Scrumptious 4-ply/sport by Fyberspates – 55% Merino, 45% Silk, 399 yards per 100 grams (sample shown in color 310 Natural)
