And it’s time to finally share pictures of my new mini-shrug with you. It would be more precise to mention that though small sizes use only one cake of Whirligig yarn by Scheepjes, larger sizes will need an extra cake of Whirligigette in matching color. Here is what Laura says:Spring Leaves shrug will come in 5 sizes with the following actual bust measurements 110 (119, 130, 142, 159) cm/ 43.5 (47, 51, 57, 62.5) in. The given sizes are recommended for the following actual bust: 81-86 (91-97, 101-107, 111-117, 122-127) cm/ 32-34 (36-38, 40-42, 44-46, 48-50) in.
