So that's the close up. Here's the whole thing:
If it weren't for Ravelry, I wouldn't be exposed or introduced to some of the cute designs available out there to knit. This one is called "Child's Ruffled Ballerina Shrug" by Ellen Rich. I made my version using one strand of KnitPick's Comfy (in Ivory) and one strand of Filatura Di Crosa Baby Pom Pom (in Fuschia multi). I used a button I had on hand that I had purchased at Walmart before they liquidated their fabric department. Now I wish I'd have bought more (grumble-grumble). I will be giving this one to my neice next time I visit her and I'm already planning the next one. It is a quick project and I enjoyed working with the yarns combined. There is almost no finishing (a crochet edging is suggested) which gives this shrug extra points. The center front edges naturally curl in so there's no need to finish that edge.
~ Inner Monologue: I'm tempted to do a larger version to fit me but I don't think this style will go with my double chin(s). ~
That is a most excellent button. It is truly sad you didn't acquire more of them!! What an awesomely cute shrug.
You don't have two chins! You silly thing. I think this would make a great accessory. You could wear it with all sorts of stuff. I say go for that adult version.
