After finishing Esther Mae's baby shrug, I thought a shrug was just the thing for me. I adapted the Evening Shrug pattern from Purl Soho into just what I wanted, a nice casual shrug that looks great thown on over a tank top with a pair of jeans.

I made the sleeves more simple, and I added ribbing around the edges to prevent curling.

I didn't love the way this was constructed...don't think I would make this pattern again, but it still is cute enough for what it is. I think it will get a fair amount of wear as we enter into fall!

Really great shrug! I really want to knit a sweater for the winter, but I'm too scared that I will mess it up!
That is so cute! I absolutely love the colors! Learning to knit is on my crafting wish list right now.
That's so cute!!!
Adorable! I love it!
AGH!!! Kristie!!! you make me want to knit!
(and meet you in real life... one day I hope!)
So stinkin' adorable!
Cute! I don't know if I could handle it, it's all sleeve, I hate doing sleeves! Hm, maybe I should make a vest...
Love your work Kristie. A beautiful shrug :)
It looks really nice! Yeah, shrugs are a bit weird to knit, I agree. But lovely results!
Looking good.
