Spring evening shrug

The model on the picture is Fernanda. She is what I call Angelina Jolly meets Kimora.
Thanks Fe!!!!

The evening shrug was fun to knit and despite some bumps on the road, it turned out to be really cute. This pattern is perfect for beginners and the lacy cuff brings a little touch of sophistication if you want to wear it at night. A shrug can be worn day or night and it is like a splash of color which adds an incredible flair to any wardrobe. I learned different grafting techniques, but I came to a conclusion that the kitchener is the best if you like an invisible seam. I found this video where I learned to pay attention to the sets, making the memorization much simpler. Once you get the idea, it is easy and smooth sailing . Actually I am posting the sequence, so when I need for further projects, here is the mantra:

First set –
Front needle
- knit, let the stitch fall off the needle
- purl, leave the stitch on the neddle
Back needle
- purl, let the stitch fall off the neddle
- knit, leave the stitch on the needle
Second set-
Front needle
- knit, let the stitch fall off the needle
- purl, leave the stitch on the neddle
Back needle
- purl, let the stitch fall off the neddle
- knit, leave the stitch on the needle

Keep repeating the sets until you cast off all the stitches
