The cozy time of the year has begun and with it a reason to knit the cozy sweaters, shrugs etc. to keep us warm and give us comfort during the cold autumn mornings and evenings. The Cozy Season Shrug is knit with Loops and Threads® Charisma™ yarn that is bulky weight yet it’s light and warm without the itchiness or heaviness of a bulky weight wool yarn. The Cozy Season Shrug knits up quite fast and makes a cozy holiday gift. I knit two Cozy Season Shrugs with the same yarn but in two different colorways which embodies the autumn season to me with the vibrant and earthy tones of the colorway Clay Heather and the snow covered ground and trees of the colorway White Tweed. 

The Cozy Season Shrug is knit top down in a yoke construction with stitches increased in four intervals. It begins with eight rounds of 2 x 2 rib stitch pattern for the collar followed by stockinette stitch pattern with garter stitch ridge/stripe for the body and then a border of eight rounds of garter stitch pattern. The decorative bind off used for the Cozy Season Shrug is a variation of the knotted K2tog (video tutorial below) bind off method.
