Crocheted Candy Apple Shrug

Lion Brand® Homespun®

GAUGE:

12 single crochet + 8 rows = 4 in. [10 cm]. 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.

SHRUG
Chain 42.
Row 1 (Right Side): Single crochet in 2nd chain from hook and in each chain across – 41 single crochet. Turn.
Row 2: Chain 1, single crochet through back loop of each single crochet across. Turn. Repeat Row 2 until piece measures 80 in. [203 cm] from beginning. Fasten off.

FINISHING
Fold shrug in half lengthwise. Sew sleeve seams, leaving the center portion of shrug open and adjusting to fit so that shrug fits snugly around shoulder and back. Weave in ends.

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.

Crocheted Candy Apple Shrug Reviewed by Delicia Ramirez on 2009-04-23 ****
i was looking for something challenging, and this looked it. by the pattern, it seems simple! i wonder how it will turn out. 'till then i guess!



i didn't make it as long as the instructions. i liked it okay, but ended up undoing the seams for the arms, and turned it into a large wrap/scarf.
