Laura Chau Dew Point PDF

Dew Point by designer Laura Chau is a fun and quick top-down shrug that's a perfect layering piece for transitional weather – give those fun summer dresses a chance for cooler weather, or just keep the air conditioned chill off in warmer climates. Dew Point is knit seamlessly from the back neck down in lightweight yarn with a pretty lace border all the way around. It uses a small amount of yarn and is great for showing off those luxury yarns that are just too pretty for socks.

Sizes: The back size is measured from the outer edge of armpit to armpit – not centered under your arm. Get a friend to help measure your back, or measure across your own front from just where your arm and chest meet. Note that if you are busty, you may take a smaller size than usual because the shrug only fits across the back! If you are between sizes or unsure, knit the smaller size.
