STELLA'S SHRUG
Stella is a co-worker of mine. She graciously let me take her shrug off her back and transcribe the knitting during my lunch break. She purchased hers at a retail store years ago. I don't really “own" the design, but I did write up the notes, add my own touch here and there, and add size and gauge options. This pattern is completely free for you to use. Since I didn't design it, have had my use from it, you have my full permission to sell as many knitted articles from this pattern as you like. Make photocopies, distribute to friends and relatives, knitting groups, church bazaars, etc. In other words, go to! Enjoy! What you ought not do is sell my pattern as written under your own name.
