I don’t do well in air conditioning… I’m always cold. My solution is a Shrug where my arms and shoulders are covered, but I don't have to worry about the rest of the sweater getting in my way.

The stitch design is based on the Lacy Entrelac pattern in Mon Tricot’s Knitting Encyclopedia:1500 Patterns book that was published in the mid-1980’s. It looks like ears of corn on stalks.

It is fun to knit and does not require extensive knitting experience.

The 2 stitch cables, also known as Left Twist and Right Twists, are explained in the pattern instructions.
