Laura Chau Dew Point PDF

Dew Point by 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.

Note: The back size is measured from the outer edge of the armpit to the 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 you may take a smaller size than usual if you are busty because the shrug only fits across the back! If you are between sizes or unsure, knit the smaller size.
