Cosmicpluto - Dew Point

A fun and quick top-down shrug is a perfect layering piece for transitional weather – give those fun summer dresses a chance for cooler weather, or just keep the air conditioned chill off in warmer climates.

Dew Point is knit seamlessly from the back neck down in lightweight yarn with a pretty lace border all the way around. It uses a small amount of yarn and is great for showing off those luxury yarns that are just too pretty for socks.

Sizes: 

Back Sizes: 13 (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)” / 33 (35.5, 38, 40.5, 43, 45.5, 48, 51)cm 

Upper Sleeve Measurement: 12.25 (13, 13.25, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)” / 31 (33, 33.5, 35.5, 38, 40.5, 43, 45.5)cm

The back size is measured from the outer edge of armpit to armpit - not centered under your arm. Get a friend to help measure your back, or measure across your own front from just where your arm and chest meet, above your breasts. Note that if you are busty, you may take a smaller size than usual because the shrug only fits across the back! If you are between sizes or unsure, knit the smaller size.

Materials: Sport or light DK weight yarn.
