Introduction
Back when I lived in California, I taught a free workshop at my LYS on how to make an easy shrug. This was the pattern I used. I hope you enjoy it as much as my class and I did. It's great to wear over a tank or dress.

that is so cute.
adorable!
This is very pretty. I have added it to my wishlist! :-)
That is really a cute shrug and rather dressy
Hopefully I can get a couple whipped up for my dds they both work in large offices and this shrug would be perfect for summer since they can't just wear a sleeveless style top or dress.
Thank you for sharing the pattern.

At the end of row 2 and subsequent rows, I see this symbol and haven't been able to figure out what it means.
sk tch. Turn.
What does tch mean?
tch is Turning Chain. So It just means you skip that and dont't do any stitches into that chain.
