Measure your arms and across your back with your arms in front of you, wrist to wrist (mine was 60"). Multiply your stitch gauge times the measurement from wrist to wrist to determine your desired stitch width. Main Body: Cast on your desired width in a multiple of 18 stitches. Knit in Feather and Fan stitch for 30" or desired length. Bind off very loosely, and block. Cuff (2): Using double pointed needles, at side. pick up one stitch per row, and work st st in the round and decrease 2 stitches every other row for 2 inches, then k2 p2 rib for 3 inches and bind off loosely. Work other side. I offer the pattern to the Feather and Fan Shrug to all of you
