Pattern Description:

Mera, is a versatile raglan shrug in which the garment and sleeve borders feature a reversible cable pattern, allowing you to wear the shrug in many different ways. the collar can be worn flat or folded back, and the sleeve cuffs can be worn down for a three-quarter sleeve or turned up for a half-sleeve.

I originally designed Mera for Bijou Basin Ranch. I am now offering it as a crafty Diversions pattern with some revisions. Some of the revisions in Mera, Revisited include a wider upper sleeve, to better accommodate any clothing you may be wearing, yarn substitution information and instructions on flipping the cable design. Shrug is worked top down and sleeves worked in the round. After the body, sleeves and sleeve cuffs are completed, stitches are picked up to work the reversible cable border.
