A light lace shrug for cooler summer evenings, with soft organic cotton and flowing gradient colour. The pattern includes five sizes. Knitted in Sesia Iride 4ply organic cotton.
Construction
The shrug is knitted flat as a rectangle with ribbed edges and a lace centre. After blocking, the short underarm seams turn it into a wearable layer. Use the full pattern for the stitch repeat and finishing.

Before You Start with Iride
The white leader yarn at the ends of an Iride cake is waste yarn. For a centre pull, remove the white leader before starting. If working from the outside, stop before the final white leader section and discard it. Do not knit or crochet the white leader into your project.
Yarn Requirements
| Size / project | Yarn | Strands held | Yarn required |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS, S, M, L, XL | Sesia Iride | Single | 450 m |
Use one strand throughout. The gradient creates the colour changes without joining separate shades.
Needles and Notions
3.50 mm needles for the rib and 4.00 mm needles for the lace, or sizes needed to match the pattern tension.
Tapestry needle for seaming and weaving in ends. Check your notions before starting.
Pattern Tension
One lace repeat measures 3.75 cm wide; 24 rows measure 10 cm. Check both measurements in the lace pattern.
Recommended Yarn
Sesia Iride 4ply organic cotton, 450 metres per cake. Work with a single strand; yarn is purchased separately.
