Ribbed Shrug

Ribbed Shrug from Better Homes and Gardens March 2010
wool from Ireland: Kerry Woollen Mills Aran Wool
needles: 6mm and 7mm
I must work on a better way to increase stitches with larger needles. The way I have done it on this vest look like holes. At least the holes are evenly spaced, so perhaps I can call it a design feature?
I bought this wool in Ireland, love the colour, and it is so warm!

Hi Nicole, great job! I'm currently in the middle of knitting this shrug & am having trouble where you change to the circular needles. I've searched for the pattern elsewhere but to no avail. Can you please help me? Thankyou in advance...Sarah
