This is my own version of a shrug. A shrug is a short sweater to chase a chill away. This would be a perfect Bed Jacket for a friend in the hospital. Or just to throw on when the nights are a little cool.
Approximate Time A couple evenings in front of the TV
Supplies:
- about 10 oz. 4 ply yarn
- Aluminum Crochet Hook size K
- Yarn Needle
Instructions:
This is not a conventional pattern, since I am not a professional pattern writer, but it is a simple pattern and should be easy enough for a beginner. It is a one-piece pattern. The only sewing needed is to form the sleeves. The pattern begins at one cuff and ends at the other cuff. If you have any problems, email me for assistance.
The measurement examples are my personal measurements
Begin by taking measurements in inches.
- A to B is edge of your palm at wrist to underarm: 17 inches
- B to D is from shoulder to shoulder across back: 17 inches (you may need help with B to D)
- C marks the middle of the back. You will be increasing on the first half to this point , adding a couple rows without increases, and then decreasing for the second half.
The instructions are also in a PDF file for which you may need Acrobat Reader to view. Download Acrobat Reader
