Materials Needed
- Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in forest green
- Needles: US 8 (5mm) knitting needles
- Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cast On: Begin by casting on 120 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method. Ensure that your stitches are not too tight, as this will affect the elasticity of your ribbing.
- Work the Ribbing:
- Row 1: *K2, P2; repeat from * to end of the row.
- Row 2: *P2, K2; repeat from * to end of the row.
- Transition to Main Pattern:
- Row 1 (Right Side): K4, *P2, K8, P2, K4; repeat from * to end of the row.
- Row 2 (Wrong Side): P4, *K2, P8, K2, P4; repeat from * to end of the row.
- Shape the Sleeves:
- On the next two rows, bind off 10 stitches at the beginning of each row. This will create openings for your arms.
- Bind Off: Once you have reached the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely to ensure the edge remains flexible.
- Sew the Side Seams: Using a tapestry needle and a length of yarn, sew the side seams of the shrug together, leaving openings for the arms. Make sure to align the edges neatly for a polished finish.
Congratulations! You have now completed your Mystic Forest Cora Shrug. This cozy and elegant piece is perfect for layering and will surely become a favorite in your wardrobe. Enjoy your new creation!
