Hi all am a newbie to this fab site and just wondered if anyone has come across a pattern for a shrug but almost like it is just sleeves with a section across the back , all the shrug patterns i have seen have big dangly sleeves ,i would like to knit it in double knit too .
Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated .
BTW brilliant site have been reading the posts and have had the same problem as everyone else with stocking stitch but at least now i know i am not on my own lol :yay:
Thanks xxxxx
Pattern advise
This may not be exactly what you are looking for, but I found this pattern and I think its fantastic.
By double knit, do you mean the yarn weight or the technique?
There a lot’s of patters for shrugs that are sleeves joined across the back. Try www.knittingpatterncentral.com and www.knittingdaily.com. You would start with a cuff, gradually increase the sleeve until it’s the width you want at the upper back (about 14-16"), knit the back width then decrease matching the first sleeve and end with the cuffs.
Do you mean the ones that are knit like a rectangle and then the sides are sewn to create sleeves?
