The latest addition to my self-published patterns has just been added ‘Summer Affair‘. This laceweight shrug was knit for my sister’s wedding in a few weeks time. I wanted to create something really special for her, but neither of us wear shawls. However I really love shrugs. So I set out to create a pattern that has all of the pleasure of lace knitting, delicate and open but creates a piece that is very wearable.
The shrug is constructed as a simple lace rectangle, the sleeve are grafted together and then the shrug opening is knit from the live stitches you have left on your needle. For added effect a ruffle is knitted at the back of the shrug with short rows.
I hope you all enjoy knitting this!
The photo below is my favourite, I love the shadow from the lace on the dress!

That’s beautiful. Congratulations!
Oh my goodness, that is one gorgeous shrug! And I was trying to resist adding another UFO to the pile but I’m feeling the urge to cast on…
Absolutely stunning design…I can’t wait to knit this!
I just had to bookmark this and follow you on twitter…I am not sure how I stumbled upon your beautiful shrug, but it stopped me dead in my “etracks”!
This is breath taking! What size do your patterns go to? And are they written out or on charts?
this is quite beautiful. are you still offering this as a free pattern?
thanks.
