PATTERN NOTES

This is a very simple make your own shrug pattern.

Determine you gauge and the desired length that you want your shrug to be. Chain number of desired for length.
Double Crochet rows until Shrug is 2 inches wider than the widest part of your arm.
Measure your back and place marker to indicate where you will be seeming up the arms. Try on the shrug before you seem it all the way up.

I recently went down to CA and wore this shrug almost every day. I plan on making another one a bit longer with some more color.

I just had a question. Does your pattern mean that you make one rectangular piece and sew up the ends to make the arm holes?
