This sweet little shrug is worked from side to side, starting with the sleeve border and working up the arm. The back section is worked in rows, so take note of how the stitch pattern changes slightly to factor in the wrong side (purl) rows.
You will also be working a yfwd at the beginning of the row. To do this, hold the RH needle close to the work, then move the yarn over the top of the needle and insert the needle into the front of the next stitch.
Switch back to working in the round again to complete the second sleeve, then finish off with the final sleeve border. The ties are worked separately and sewn in place.
