This baby shrug is the perfect item for the transition to spring! (It's also great for the indoors air conditioning when it's 90 degrees outside - keep it in your diaper bag so you're always prepared!) With no buttons or zippers, dressing your baby is a breeze. Knit top-down, this quick knit has minimal seaming.

Thank you for this great little pattern. Have made quite a few for charity. Very easy to memorise, and easy to take anywhere. Thanks again. Lora.
This is the cutest little pattern. I have knitted quite a couple for my granddaughter and for friends. They are so cute and teamed up with a pretty pair of baby jeans, you can go anywhere, anytime. Thank you for this gorgeous little pattern.

I just finished the shrug and it's super cute! I do have a few questions. On the raglan side, do you only pick up and knit in the "v"s or do you pick up and knit both the "v" and bars? Also, picking up and knitting from the back to the raglan about how many pick-ups do you do in that corner? I made the 6th month size. Thanks again for such a cute pattern!!
I did this pattern, was intrigued by the shaping, had never done anything like it before.
Thank you.
