If you're not a fan of the dainty look of most shrugs, or you're looking for something a little more durable and warming than your standard bolero, look no further than the Cozy Knit Shrug Pattern. This shrug knitting pattern for beginners is one of the quickest ways to whip up a comfy wearable for any season, since it uses large needles and super bulky yarn. The dusty pink color shown is perfect for a more feminine appeal, but a brown or a black version of this knit shrug pattern would be perfect for a wardrobe staple.

Notes1. Directions are for size Small. Changes for sizes Medium, Large, X-Large, and XX-Large are in parentheses.

2. Back is worked, back and forth in rows, in Garter stitch (knit every row).

3. Border is worked in 1x1 Rib worked in rounds.

4. Without binding off, the back is folded and stitches are picked up across the cast-on edge to begin working the border in rounds.

5. There is no top or bottom to the finished piece. Insert arms into openings on sides of back. Border will fold around back of neck to form collar. Front of border can be worn open or pinned with a shawl pin or brooch.

Red heart Grande yarn is a #7 jumbo yarn not a #6 super bulky.

I love that this is an EASY shrug pattern. The chunky knit is really unique, and it looks like it would be very warm around the neck.
