A triangle shawl with sleeves, a Brioche hug.
The Base Camp Shrug is, essentially, a large shawl with sleeves that stays on your shoulder when wearing. It is meant to casually hang off your shoulders, with the sleeves bunched up at your wrists.
You can easily combine different sizes or create a custom size to fit your measurements or gauge.
If you like this shrug, you may also like its precursor, the Shusui Shrug.
