This is a beautiful shrug; however I found the pattern to be very complicated for something that should be very easy. The first one I knitted to was too short (cuffs above my elbows ) because of the confusion in changing colors and going back and forth from changing colors (MC is a certain color; then MC is a different color). The “repeats” have “repeats” within them. My first one had to be ripped out; I started another one trying to be more focused on the changes, and I’ve still lost my place. I’ll probably just try to adapt the pattern to something I can understand.

The instructions were excellent and easy to knit. However, after I was finished knitting this (which took hundreds if not thousands of hours to knit!) and tried it on, the sleeves were 3/4, not full sleeves and while the rest of it was long enough, it slipped off my shoulders and since there was no way to even use a shawl pin to hold it up, because of the design, I will now have to rip it all out! The model wearing this is posed in so many positions, which is nice to really be able to see how the garment is worn, but upon a closer look, you can see it barely stays on her shoulders and one photo it is off her shoulders entirely. It looks beautiful, but just sadly cannot be worn. I guess I will stick to knitting scarves and shawls that can be worn easier and where I can add a shawl pin if needed. It was a great idea, but sadly not in theory. Even if the sleeves came out longer, it would not have made a difference to the fit on my shoulders, since the front is so open as you can see and there is nothing keeping this on the shoulders.

Haven't made the end product yet but reading through the pattern I'm impressed with the method and details of writing. Look forward to creating soon!

This pattern is so easy and just plain fun! It is knitting up quickly and the colors are everything I hoped for..

Great stash buster. I got the pattern to use up some acrylic yarn for a house sweater for cold nights. Easy to follow and just what I was looking for. Thank you!

The pattern is very easy to follow, I just started making the 'shrug'. I'll send a picture when it's finished.

I love love love this pattern. Sooo much. I will probably make several of these for various blouse colors or to go with long sleeve Ts.

I’m so appreciative for the free pattern. I think this will be my next project.

My daughter likes the pattern very much and would like me to make it in colors shown. Unfortunately, not all colors of yarn are available. Thank you for the pattern.

It's an excellent model , easy to work and a must for everyday use. Thank You

I love the simplicity of this pattern. It makes it easy to modify it to be your own. I am using a variegated color progression in a mohair blend with larger needles with the smallest size pattern to make an oversized large shrug that should be cozy on these chilly days....

Loving making it.

Not yet started. Waiting for the yarn. But will start asap. Looks really beautiful. Thank you!!!

Not only does it look cozy, I enjoy having my vocabulary expanded when patterns are titled with unfamiliar (to me, at least) words

The pattern is so beautiful and so nicely explained that even beginners can make it

A very easy pattern, but has its special combination with colors, so even if you're not an expert, you can make a unique garment. Comfortable when it's not clear wheter it's cold or warm outside, and it doesn't fall off your shoulders!

Nice pattern and a very simple knit. I have a sweater with the same shape and wanted to knit one out of a different yarn and this one is perfect. Really easy to adjust size. I am making mine in one color, Penguin North DK, and I know it will be a go to sweater.

Just received the yarn for this pattern, it look and feels yummy! Can't wait to start.

Love the look of the pattern - so far easy to follow

Simplicity at it's finest. Easy to follow pattern no matter your skill level. If adventurous enough you could modify the pattern to make it a little wider towards the center. I absolutely love it, as well as the crochet version.

Very beautiful . It will be on my list of knitting. I love all your patterns. Very simple and well explained.

Super modèle. J'espère le tricoter bientôt. Mille mercis!pa

I love and make so many of your patterns. You've filled my wardrobe with absolute beauty. Many thanks.

Very beautiful and easily to knit

Great

I love this pattern and I look forward to making this. I have never used double point needles. Looking forward to learning a new skill. I have used many of your patterns and watched your You Tube videos to learn the basics of Knitting. Thank you Chandi.

I am looking forward to making this shrug and just have to decide on a color, I love your yarns and your recommendations for patterns to the yarns

Very easy pattern to Download and make. Very comfortable to wear.

Absolutely gorgeous when done. It's easy to master and comfortable to wear.

Beautiful pattern - can't afford to buy all the yarn at once and is is limited so will have to figure out different yarn to use.

Beautiful pattern, can't decide between Crochet and Knitting. Decisions, decisions! lolo

Working on collecting yarn from my stash to start this pattern. Love style a colors. Can’t wait to start it.

It is a beautiful pattern and very easy. I loved that she did a mini-example.

Absolutely love this pattern!

Absolutely love this pattern!

A well-written pattern with wonderful photos for creating this beautiful shrug.

I have other similar patterns but like this one with the cuffs.

I’m looking forward to knitting this! I haven’t started knitting it yet due to other projects’ completion. I have purchased the yarn & it’s waiting!

I’m looking forward to making this. It looks like an easy pattern and I love the cuffs. It’s just looks so comfy and warm. It’s a nice change from the usual shawls.

Still like it. It’s in my que, just waiting for time to cast on.

Thank you!

As a beginner, I carefully reviewed the pattern and found that it was doable for me. The yarn is so soft and I love the scheme of colours. The video is extremely helpful. My first time with cuffs. Thank you for making it so easy for beginners.

This pattern is so unique. Thank you so much Chandi for sending me the free pattern and your videos are so inspiring

Pretty

I'm not a big shrug knitter, but I love this pattern because it is so colorful, fun to knit and useful for those cold evenings when I need something on my arms and shoulders that stays in place.

This pattern came at the perfect time. I have a co-worker who is usually cold. For her, I am using a washable wool blend that I have had in stash for many years. Perfect pattern to use up a yarn. Thank you

Did not start this project yet. Thank You

Beautiful
