Sometimes you just need a little something something to cover your shoulders.
Here's a very stylish solution a quick knit, shawl-collared shrug! It features a textured, open rib stitch contrasted with a 2x2 ribbed, chic shawl-collar. Ribbed cap sleeves finish the look.
This seamless design begins with the back, which is knit from the bottom up. Then, stitches are picked up around the rest of the edges and the remainder of the shrug is knit in the round.
Short rows are used to give the shawl-collar its great shape and to create the little cap sleeves that finish off the armholes.

SweaterBabe.com has made every effort to be accurate and complete with our patterns. They are provided strictly as is. We are not responsible for differences between knitters, knitting mistakes, or any typographical errors. Our patterns are authorized for home knitting use only and are not to be knit for resale. SweaterBabe.com patterns may not be photocopied, or distributed in any hardcopy or electronic form without the express written consent of SweaterBabe.com. NOTES 1) Instructions are written for the smallest size, with instructions for the larger sizes in parentheses, respectively. PLEASE go through the pattern first, highlighting or circling ALL instructions that are for the size you are knitting. This will help avoid any size confusion as you are knitting. 2) Because of Note 1 above, you may see this: -- (--, --, --, 204, 220, 236) sts. The - -just means that that instruction is not applicable for those sizes, i.e. this instruction only applies to sizes 1X, 2X, and 3X. You will also see a header in the instructions that says For Sizes 1X, 2X, and 3X ONLY:, which is to further clarify. 3) This shrug is knit all in one piece. First, the BACK is knit from the bottom up, then sts are picked up and cast on all around to form the CIRCULAR BAND that will make up the fronts, shoulders, and shawl collar. Armholes will be created when the CIRCULAR BAND is first established. Lastly, the cap sleeves are picked up around each armhole and knit. 4) cast on X sts = use the Single cast-on (also called the Backward-loop cast-on) method to CO sts for the armholes when you start working the CIRCULAR BAND.
KNITTING THE SHRUG BEGIN WITH BACK With larger circular needle, CO 54 (62, 70, 78, 86, 94, 102) sts.
Row 1 [WS]: K2, *p2, k2; rep from * to end. AT THE SAME TIME, place a split-ring st marker (OR safety pin, so it can be removed later) after the 28th (32nd, 36th, 40th, 44th, 48th, 52nd) st at the cast-on edge (not on your knitting needle, as this marker will not be moving up from row to row, but will remain at the cast-on edge). Row 2 [RS]: Work Row 1 of Open Lace Rib to end.
Armhole Shaping: Row 3 [WS Dec 2]: Skp, p2, *k2, p2; rep from * to last 2 sts, k2tog = 52 (60, 68, 76, 84, 92, 100) sts. Row 4 [RS Dec 2]: K2tog, k1, work Row 3 of Open Lace Rib to last 3 sts, k1, skp = 50 (58, 66, 74, 82, 90, 98) sts.

Rnd 3: Work Rnd 2 (4, 4, 2, 2, 4, 4) of Open Lace Rib to st marker, skipping the final p2. Rnd 4: Work Rnd 3 (1, 1, 3, 3, 1, 1) of Open Lace Rib to st marker, skipping the final p2.

CREATE SHAWL COLLAR Use Short Rows to create the Shawl Collar. Instead of working in the rnd, you will be working Short Rows.
Reset row counter to 0. NOTES: 1) wrapped sts are the stitches that get yarn wrapped around them to prevent holes in your knitting when you are working short rows. Just follow the specific instructions in note 4 below to "wrap and turn". 2) yb = yarn back, i.e. move the yarn to the back (as if you are about to knit). 3) yf = yarn forward, i.e. move the yarn to the front (as if you are about to purl). 4) W&T = "wrap and turn": After a purl st: yb, sl next st purlwise, yf, sl st back to left needle, turn work to begin working in opposite direction. After a knit st: yf, sl next st purlwise, yb, sl st back to left needle, turn work to begin working in opposite direction. 5) In this next row, place 2 st markers (pmB) for working the short rows, using a different color (Color B = ___________ ) than the beg-of-rnd marker. 6) When counting sts just worked, do NOT count the "wrapped" stitch.
