Knitting - Saffire Shrug

Safire (Ravelry Link)

A retro style shrug knitted top down with raglan sleeves.

Yarn: Sublime Yarns Cashmere Merino Silk DK (0196)
Needle: 4.5mm, 4mm for ribbing

Shrug

Mods: I didn't knit the cuffs on the arms for as long as the pattern suggested, so the arms end at the bend of my arm.

Verdict: I think this might convert quite nicely to a full-length sweater, just by joining after the neck shaping and then working it a bit longer.
If I were to make it again, I’d increase the arms a bit more - they fit fine, but I might like them a bit looser, especially if I made them longer.
