What is a Shrug?

It's A waist length or short jacket, or sweater,

usually designed in Knit or Crochet.

This Shrug is perfect for Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.

 It can be worn with any outfit from casual To fancy.

Morning, Brunch, or out for a evenly get together.

It so Comfortable you can wear it anytime and anywhere.

I designed the Firecracker Shrug a few years ago, 

and wanted to up date the Pattern with a new yarn 

since the precious yarn was no longer available. 

I think The Red Heart Ombre is perfect. 

This Colorway is called Hot Sauce.

This pattern has been up dated With Lot's of New

 Pictures, And a Brand New Video.
