Lion Brand^® Homespun^®

GAUGE:

8 sts + 8 rows = 4” [10cm] in Garter st (k every row) BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:

Editor’s Note: When creating fringe using Homespun please note that because of the texture of the yarn the fringe will fray when cut. If you prefer a non-frayed look you can knot the ends, knit or crochet a fringe, or use hairspray or fray check.

Finishing
Fold wrap in half lengthwise. Sew 18.5 inch underarm seams, beg at cast-on and bind-off edges. Weave in ends.

Cut strands from yarns B, C and D approximately 4-7 inches [10-18cm] long. For each fringe, fold one length (does not have to be even). Insert crochet hook to WS and back to RS through a stitch in fabric and draw fold through, forming a loop. Pull ends of fringe through this loop. Pull to tighten. Attach fringes randomly over lower 4.5 inches [11.5cm] of each sleeve (or as desired).

Wearing Suggestions:

To wear, slide one of your arms into one of the sleeves, wind the remaining length of the rectangle around your body (thus crossing it), then slide your remaining arm into the remaining sleeve. The winding is done in the same manner as you would wind a long scarf around your neck.

Wear the shrug with the crisscross wrap in front. -- wrap the shrug under the arm, and then over your shoulder in front.	Wear the shrug with the crisscross in back. The shrug will wrap straight across the front (see images and descriptions below for detail)
With the crisscross in back, the shrug can be loosely gathered in front like a scarf	With the crisscross in back, the shrug can worn with a shawl-style drape in the front.
