Phoenix the shrug gets cuffs, I picked up 27ish stitches on each end of the sleeve part and knitted on a round.
Very tricky as the round was two big with no give as the needle where very tight as old plastic.
It's a good job acrylic is so forgiving as I kept having to tug the stitches. 9 rows and a cuff. Next step stitch my ends.
I must invest in one of those kits that you attach different size needles to the cord (That's new and flexible). All the knit cafe members seem to have them, just not me. Stocked at Maria Yarn;-)
