Craftster Circular Shrug
Swatch yarn in mock rib stitch to get stitch gauge in your preferred needle size. Measure across the top of your shoulders from shoulder edge to shoulder edge. Add 4 inches to this number.
Multiply your stitch gauge (# stitches in one inch) by your shoulder measurement. This is the number of stitches you need for the mock rib section of the shrug.
Multiply your stitch number by two. This is the number of stitches you need to cast on (CO).
CO required stitches.
Work K2P2 (Knit 2 stitches, Purl 2 stitches) rib for 5 inches. If you are generously proportioned, you will probably want to increase this number to 6 or 7 inches, depending on how voluptuous you are.K2tog, P2tog 1 row, half the stitches cast on remain on the needle.
Work mock rib for 20 inches. Again, if you are more generously proportioned, you may want work to 21 or more inches, depending again on how voluptuous you are.
KF&B, PF&B and repeat across the row, for one row. The same amount of stitches cast on will remain on the needle.
Work K2P2 rib for 5 inches or the same amount as the first section.BO (bind off) in pattern. Draw yarn through remaining loop.
To assemble: Fold wrong sides together, with both K2P2 ribs together.
Seam in mattress stitch along the side edges of the K2P2 rib and continue seeming 4 inches into the mock rib section. This length is approximate and may be shortened or lengthened to fit your needs.
Weave in ends.
Mock Rib Stitch Pattern: RS (right side): K1P1 rib across. WS (wrong side): P1, SL1YF (slip on with yarn forward) across. Note: Another stitch can be used for the middle section. Be sure to swatch in your chosen stitch to get your stitch gauge before beginning your project.Many thanks to julsey723 and Keridiana for use of their images and instructions. Thanks also to the generous and innovative knitters on Craftster.com who created the pattern by committee.

bwahahaa! My SP7!
PREPARE FOR GIFTIES
YOU SHALL BE SPOILED!
Commence figuring out how to mail things to Canada!
;)
Mammaloo, I can't find your SP7 questionnaire.
Of course, I could send you a fake Christmas tree (white plastic or aluminum with spazzing blue lights).
=;D
I'm getting to it!
Give me a day or so.
And, Hi!
I just wanted to say Hi. I am working on the circular shrug, form the pattern you have written on here. I think it's a clever pattern. Ok, have a great Monday!
I'm glad you're enjoying the pattern.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! Please come back and give me a link to your finished shrug; I'd love to see it.
I think I'm going to give this a try. Do you remember how much/what weight of yarn you used?
I love your shrug and am going to attempt the pattern. I'm just wondering what you mean when you say KF&B, PF&B. I figure that this is a decrease, I just want to know what kind of decrease you use. Thank you!!!
KF&B & PF&B (I think) are actually increase stitches -- K into front and back of a stitch, and P into front and back of a stitch, respectively.
Hi, I found your site off of craftster. I am considering knitting this (and I thank you for taking the time out to write this pattern down for us all!!) and I tried to click on the picture with the handrawn instructions, only it didn't enlarge. I was wondering if you could link to a bigger version of the image? Thanks!
Oh, and seconding the weight and yardage you used.
Hey Laura, You can actually find the original image of the notes on craftster in the original circular shrug thread. I do not possess a larger image because I don't own the image.
I love the shrug and I have followed its development on Crafster. Great example of team work!
I am a moderator on the Angel Yarns forum and have put a link up for your site with the pattern on our Pattern Reveiw thread. However, I am more of a crocheter than knitter and the knitters are asking how much yarn it would use or at least an estimate. I would be most grateful if you could let me know approx. yardage/meterage?
I am assuming that you used 'worsted weight' yarn?
Thank you in anticipation of your help. Good wishes to all the wonderful women who contributed to the design.
Hi Hookiemama could you please contact me again with your email address? There is a direct email listing at the bottom of the side column. Thanks!
Very cute pattern! It would make great labor-wear. For my last birth I made a shrug type thing to cover up my top, while leaving the necessary portion open. Worked great. After, I unravelled the yarn (because it was way too big for non-pregnant me to wear again) and am working on a sweater for my son. Thank goodness I didn't use the pink yarn I had my eye on. lol
I love this sweater and have yarn all picked out but I'm having a difficult time understanding how this is assembled.
Love this circular shrug pattern!!! How much wool is required and what kind? Could you please explain how to assemble? Thanks
I love the pattern and have the wool picked out also. I still don't however understand the KF&B and PK&B. I hope I'll understand the assembling as well.
If you could give me more informaton I would be soooo happy to get started.
Thank you!
