• Turn right side out and stuff casing with fiberfill or pillow form.

Knit Shrug

An ideal first project. Large needles and three strands held together produce almost instant results and there are only two small seams to sew. You'll need to know how to: cast on, knit (k), purl (p), increase by knitting twice into the same stitch, knit two stitches together (k2tog), bind off, and sew a seam using yarn.

SIZES To fit Small (30-32 chest), Medium (34-36 chest), Large (38-40 chest). Directions are for smallest size with larger sizes in parentheses. If there is only one figure, it applies to all sizes.
