New Pattern: Neapolitan Baby Shrug

Image
While I was traveling with my mom, I came up with this idea for a little shrug for a baby at our church. (Enjoy MacKenzie!) I pretty much just made it up as I went along, but have now written it up and am posting it here. For larger sizes, repeat rows 1-6 an extra time before you continue. I like using the various stitches, because it adds a bit of a texture to it, almost like ice cream ripples. My mom called Neapolitan and that name has stuck. Enjoy and please post any questions you have. This pattern is free for personal use, but please do not use it for commercial purposes. download now Neopolitan Baby Shrug by Jenna Moore Materials: 1 skein each white yarn, chocolate brown yarn, and strawberry pink yarn.

I really love the way this came out, so I'm sharing it with you.
