I’m looking for a machine knitted pattern for a shrug. Several of the hand knitted patterns are great but have quite a lot of machine yarn and would like to use it up. Please help.

The main knitted stitch on the triple S shrug is very simple. I fact, it’s an elongated stitch– a variation on the type I discuss here:
elongated garter stitch

I’d advise just practicing that stitch on a swatch to see if you enjoy knitting it. You’ll need to read the instructiosn for the crochet trim and gauge if you know how to do that– once again, practice on a swatch. But, honestly, if you’ve knit a fair number of things, you can probably knit that shrug!

Hello. I love the Triple S Shrug. I have been knitting all my life but up to the last two years relied on a knit shop to point me in the right direction. However about two years ago I started ordering material on line and just going for it and so far so good. The pattern of te Triple S Shrug looks complicated after it has been knitted up. Will I be okay with this. I do crochet as well.

Thank you very much,
Tommie

If you are knitting by hand, I have this:bolero/shrug which ties closed. I called it a bolero.

I had in mind, one that has a tie that ties just below the breasts. I’m making one for my granddaughter.
She is a junior size small.

I saw a Chill Chaser by Alchemy/Gina Wilde and think that this could easily be what I want but it does not come in under the breast far enough to add ties.
Your opinion on ths would be greatly appreciated.
