I am very grateful to Lion brand yarn for the shrug. I could make in yellow and brown; my little granddaughter liked it and I just started one in white for her (she wants to wear it at school and only let them garments in dark blue or white)
But I am eager to start a new project “knit-along” please…..I would like something similar, I mean for women/men (a sweater or coat will be marvelous)

I thought I posted this question earlier today, but not sure it got through. Can someone PLEASE answer this question for me? Obviously, I'm 'way behind everyone else, cuz I'm just at the part where I'm starting the sleeves. It says, "Next ro (RS) transfer 50, 58, 66, etc. sts of one sleeve to larger needle." Did that. Then it goes to DEC row (RS) and tells you to decrease two stitches. But the part I don't understand is that it then says you should end up with 64, 67, 75, etc. sts remaining. How can you decrease from 58 sts and and end up with more (67 sts) remaining? Zontee says: Hi Linda, you did post your comment on the intro post and it did come through here. The directions you are referring to start with "SIZES 40–42 (44–46, 48–50, 52–54)" meaning that they are for the Large, 1X, 2X, and 3X sizes -- since you are making a medium, you SKIP those directions and go directly to: ALL SIZES Work even until piece measures 6 3/4 (7 1/2, 6 1/4, 8, 6 3/4, 7 1/2)" (17 [19, 16, 20, 17, 19]cm) from beg, ending with first 5 rows of textured stripe. Bind off. Hope that helps.

As you can see, I am way behind, but working to the end…lol…I have a problem, though. Unless, I’m overlooking it, where are the instructions to finish the body by ribbing? I’ve read and read and just can’t figure it out! Someone please help me with this!

Thanks

Zontee says: Hi Rita, the “Neck Trim” section includes the body, as the collar and body are worked continuously together in the round. It’s an interesting construction that you might find surprising. Just follow the blog posts and you’ll get through it. Hope that helps!

I realize the KAL is over, but I have a question regarding the body of the shrug. How exactly would I go about making just the back longer? The front fits perfectly, but I could use a couple more inches of length for the back. (I’m really long-waisted)
Fabulous pattern, I will definately be making this again!

Zontee says: Hi Bethany, because this pattern is knit in the round around the back and up the collar, keep in mind that extending the back will also mean extending your collar and making it “taller”. If you don’t mind that, then simply knit more rounds of the ribbed section (maybe go up to the number in the next size), before your increase sections. Hope that helps.

Stephanie,
In the photo of the shrug from the book, it appears like the textured pattern was NOT continued on back during the decreases.
This looks better to me. Can you comment?
Thanks.

Zontee says: Hi Valerie, I’m looking at the photo of the back and I see the textured rows continuing during the decreases. You can see it more clearly in the right side of the photo, as the light washes out the details in the left side of the photo a bit. However, the pattern is a matter of preference at that point, and if you prefer to have it be stockinette during the decreases, go for it. No pattern is written in stone, so feel free to make it your own.

Thank you for posting a photo with this installment. As I look at the shrug in progress pinned to the dress form I hope that mine will turn out well. I see some drape in the back neck where the stitches for the collar will be picked up. My own project seemed large in this area and I debated whether or not to rip back for a tighter back. I’m going forward with it holding to the idea that it will be worn as a second layer garment and that the collar may pull in the soft yarn stitches a bit. Thanks! ~Christine.
