Lune Cocoon
Lune Cocoon
The Lune Cocoon shrug is a cable knitting paradise. Knit seamlessly from the right sleeve opening to the left, this shrug is covered in dramatic, horizontal cables. The uncomplicated construction allows you to create a garment that is fun to knit and easy to wear. The ribbed collar can be worn folded or unfolded and the size is easily modified as you knit.
This shrug is knit seamlessly from the right sleeve opening to left sleeve opening. First, it is knit in the round to create a loose sleeve. Then, the central portion is knit flat while shaping the collar using simple increases and decreases. Finally, the sweater is joined in the round once more to work the left sleeve opening. The pattern includes instructions for modifying your garment to get the perfect fit for you.
