Any Size/Any Gauge Shrug

Honestly, this is not something you want or need a pattern to do. If you know how to crochet back andforth and know how to crochet in the round, you can do this shrug. I think a pattern only serves toconfuse, and removes the ability to conform this shrug to your choice of size, yarn and gauge. If youfollow the schematics, you can make this for a 2 year old or for a size XXXL! And you can use any

stitches you like - heavy dense ones or lacy light ones. You can use any yarn you want - baby weight

or bulky weight. You can even choose whatever needle/hook size you want - a heavy yarn with smallerneedle/hook will make a heavy shrug, a light yarn with larger needle/hook will make a lacy one.

Obviously you can knit OR crochet this.

It's actually really easy - the hardest part is probably choosing what type of ruffle to do for the collarportion.

If you want to try it but are nervous, make a doll sized one! That'll give you a chance to see how it allcomes together and it won't take much time or yarn.

GaugeFirst - make a gauge using whatever stitch you prefer for the body of your shrug. Measure yourstitches per inch. Write this down somewhere! Gauge (G) = ____.

MeasuringNow, you must get a sweater you like or one the person who plans to wear the shrug likes, one whosefit you wish to duplicate in your shrug. Spread out your sweater and measure thusly:From wrist to wrist: L (for length of rectangle)

Across the chest: C for chestAlllll the way around the widest part of the arm: A

Make the rectangle bodyThe "body" of the shrug is nothing but a rectangle. This is not tricky.To figure your initial chain or cast on, multiply G x A = _______. (This is the number of stitches.Remember to add on any starting chain necessary for the stitch of your choice if you're crocheting... sc

requires 1 chain, hdc requires 2, etc.)You begin at the short end (A) and work until it is (L) long

enough, using the stitch of your choice. End off, work in ends.

Sewing the sleevesFold your rectangle in half, long-edge to long-edge. x to x and y to y. But you already knew that.You will be sewing two seams, one from each end toward the middle, but you will leave some of themiddle open. The number of inches you leave open in the center isdetermined by C - your chest measurement.Now, you will do some more math. This is NOT tricky. L" - C" = _____ divided by 2 = ______ thenumber of inches to sew up each arm.Take a yarn needle and some yarn, and neatly sew the two seams. Turn the shrug to look at you, open

up the center opening and you will now have this:If you wanted a plain shrug, you could stop here, slip your arms into each of those long tubes and

have a shrug.Or, you can put the ruffly bit on.

RuffleFrom now on, you are working in the round. With a hook one size larger, sc in each stitch all the way

around the opening. If knitting, you'll need a circular needle and you'll pick up evenly all the wayaround.Now, begin your chosen ruffle stitch, working even for several inches, then increasing as you go to

make the ruffle fan out slightly. That's it! Try it on as you go and stop making the ruffle when it is aslong as you like. If you wish to make ruffled cuffs, simply chain around (or pick up and knit) the wristsand make a similar ruffle for as long as desired.

Variations:You needn't make one which goes from wrist-to-wrist. You can measure from elbow-to-elbow, or even

upperarm-to-upperarm. Just remember to always leave stitches to measure C open in the center.For a snug fitting shrug, measure a snug fitting sweater. For a loose shrug, measure a loose fitting

sweater.

An example of stitches usedI used Bernat Baby Softee in pinkhttp://store.knitting-warehouse.com/...baby-yarn.htmland it tookalmost all of three skeins. I was surprised, actually, that it took quite so much for a womens size small.(US 6/8) I used a G hook for the body and an H hook for the ruffle. I believe my gauge was about 3spi. I think any sport or dk weight yarn would be best, but I don't really like bulky clothing.Sweater stitchI used the "sweater stitch" for the body of mine, which is much lighter weight than normal sc.Chain any even number of chains.

Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and each ch across. Ch 1, turn. (you must have an odd number of scsat this point)Row 2: Sc in FLO of first stitch, * sc in BLO of next stitch, sc in FLO of next stitch* across. Ch 1, turn.

Rows 3 - ?: Repeat row 2. (You will notice that you're always putting a sc in the opposite loop from theone below, which makes a bit of a seed stitch pattern.)(This pattern repeat can be worked over any odd number, plus ONE for the starting chain.)It seems small but it will come out as the post above you and then you can add length to it with theruffle which will make the rest of the body as well as the collar.

Ruffle patternFor the ruffle, I single crocheted around the body opening, making sure my sc were an amount

divisible by three. My ruffle pattern is *2dc, ch 1, 2dc (shell made), ch 1 skip 2 scs* across. Onsubsequent rounds, slip stitch into the center of the shell, do a ch 3 for initial dc, then dc, ch 1, 2dc, ch

1. In next shell, make shell (2dc, ch1, 2dc) ch 1.I repeated this for five rounds, then put two chains between the shells for five rounds. Then put threechains between the shells for five rounds. Then, I changed the shells to *3dc, ch1, 3dc - ch 3* forseveral rounds, until I had to move up to *4dc, ch 1, 4dc* shells with an increasing number of chainsbetween rounds - ending with (I believe) 4dc, ch 1, 4dc, ch 6. In the final round I simply sc in eachstitch around.You just keep increasing the ruffle until it IS close enough to tie - more rows of ruffle mean it'll cover

more of your front. My daughter overlaps the front of hers and pins it over the tummy area most times

The wrist ruffle was just the regular ruffle with no subsequent increases: "For the ruffle, I single

crocheted around the body opening, making sure my sc were an amount divisible by three. My ruffle

pattern is *2dc, ch 1, 2dc (shell made), ch 1 skip 2 scs* across. On subsequent rounds, slip stitch intothe center of the shell, do a ch 3 for initial dc, then dc, ch 1, 2dc, ch 1. In next shell, make shell (2dc,ch1, 2dc) ch 1. "

The TieThe tie is simply a short length of chain, which my daughter threaded through an opening on each side

of the ruffle - in a place where she wanted. You can also cross the ruffle over your torso and pin it.

ExampleOne reader made this (see picon the left):I used Caron Simply Soft in

Yellow, made the majority of itusing extended sc, then about6 inches on each sleeve isdone in shell stitch and I used

the ruffle you described in theschematics since I'd alreadyused shells in the sleeves.

Then I just whipped up aflower and attached it to a pinso it can be used as a closure,or it can be worn on a hat

Please watch size as you join granny squares. Softwist is veryelastic and will stretch, so if you plan on using a differentyarn, check fit often. Fit is intended to be relaxed.

Keep in mind that you can easily alter the garment bychanging the layout of the granny squares. For example, ifyou would prefer cap sleeves, leave off the grannies at thearm. Or if you want a shrug; leave off the grannies at thefront panels. The options are yours, enjoy exploring.Written instructions are provided along with diagrams.

English Garden Shrug

The shrug is worked from cuff to cuff in the round, so the only seaming involved is attaching the collar.Instead of just being a long straight tube, a little bit of shaping is used to get a better fit and to eliminatethe bumpy, bulging back that you see so often with simple shrugs. I dont feel like writing up a properpattern for it, but I thought Id share some guidelines that will allow you to make one of your own.

Materials:

5 balls Plymouth Baby Alpaca Brush, [80% Baby Alpaca, 20% Acrylic, 110 yds per 50g ball] J/6mm hook Yarn needle Safety pins or stitch markers

When you begin, be sure to take notes so that you can make the second sleeve match the first! Start bymaking a chain long enough that when you join it into a circle, if you push it up on your arm like a braceletit fits up your arm and stops at your elbow. (My number was 35 ch.) To accommodate the pattern stitch,be sure you use an odd number of chains.

Join, ch 2, and hdc in every st around. Join rnd.

Ch 1, sc in next st, *ch 1, sk 1 st, sc in next st. Repeat from * around. When you reach the end of the round(the first and last stitches should both be sc), **ch1, skip next sc, sc in next chain space. Repeat from **

around in a continuous spiral until sleeve measures desired length from wrist to elbow. (Its a good idea to

measure and mark down the length of this section, even put in a stitch marker for later.)

At this point, increase until sleeve can continue comfortably up your arm. (I made 3 increases. Be sure tomark down how many increases you made so that you can mirror them on the other side with decreases.)Increase by making [sc, ch 1, sc] in a chain space. Stack your increases by increasing in the ch-space formedin the previous increase. Only make one increase per round to avoid creating strange bumps. Insert stitch

marker.

Continue in pattern until your sleeve reaches the bicep. Increase as described previously until sleeve cango comfortably over bicep and shoulder. (I made 10 increases here: be sure to make a note of how manyincreases you did.)

Begin working back and forth, leaving a few stitches (I used 3) unworked to create some space betweenthe edges. Work in pattern for about 1 1/2; any time the pattern stitch would have you begin or end a rowwith a ch, substitute a sc. Choose one side to be the neck edge, and one side to be the back edge. Begindecreasing at back edge as follows: insert hook in ch-space, pull up loop. Insert hook in next ch-space, pullup loop. Yarn over, pull loop through all loops on hook. Make a decrease in this manner every row alongback edge until (when you try it on) the end of the row has come out from under your armpit to sit onyour back. Make note of the number of decreases (I made 6), insert stitch marker.

Work even in pattern until reaching the place on the opposite shoulder that mirrors where you placed thelast marker (be careful, its easy to make this part too long)and increase along back edge as previousyexplained to match your decreases. Work even about 1 1/2, chain the same number of stitches you

skipped before, and join your work. You should now have the same number of stitches as you did beforeyou split your round.

Work 1 round in pattern, decrease as previously described to match the bicep increases on the other side.

Work straight until you reach the place equivalent to the stitch marker on the other arm (just above theelbow), decrease to match elbow increases. You should now have the same number of stitches as youbegan with; work straight in pattern until second sleeve is about 1/4 shorter than first sleeve. Join with a

slip stitch, ch 2, hdc around, join rnd. Finish off.

Collar:

Row 1: Ch 32, make 2 hdc in 3rd ch from hook. Hdc across, make another hdc in last ch. (32 sts) Turn.Rows 2-5: Ch 2, hdc inc 2x. Hdc across until 2 sts remain, hdc inc 2x. Turn.Row 6: Sl st 3, sc inc, hdc inc, hdc across until 5 sts remain. Hdc inc, sc inc, sl st. Turn, leaving remaining stsunworked.Row 7: Do not ch, skip sl st, sl st 2. Sc inc, hdc 38, sc inc, sl st in next st. Turn.Row 8: Skip sl st, sl st 3. Sc, hdc 32, sc, sl st. Finish off.Center collar on neck edge, and sew flat side of collar to neck edge. Weave in all ends.And thats it! I hope someone finds this useful.

Girls' Simple Openwork Shrug

We were in NC this past weekend for my niece's wedding. Abby wanted to wear her Caprice Sundress tothe brunch the next morning, but she thought her shoulders might be a bit cold. Of course she could haveworn her wedding sweater, but she wanted to run and play with her cousins and thought a shrug would bebetter (and yes, my almost 5 yo dd really voiced all these opinions on her own!). So, this Simple OpenworkShrug was born.

Girl's Simple Openwork Shrug

Project details:

Hook: Brittany 4.5mm hookYarn: Classic Elite Flash 'Pink Tweed'Size: This fits my 5 yo who wears mostly sizes 5-6. It was 22 inches x 10 inches before sewing.

Pattern: My own - designed to match stitch pattern of NY Yarns Caprice Sundress.

Ch 90 , must be a multiple of 4 + 6.

Row 1: Dc in 4th chain from hook, (dc in next ch) twice, *ch 1, skip one ch, (dc in next ch) 3 times, repeatfrom * across.

Row 2: Ch 4 (counts as dc, ch 1), *3 dc in ch-1 space, ch 1, repeat from * across, dc in top of turning ch.

Row 3: Ch 3, 2 dc in ch-1 space, ch 1, *3 dc in ch-1 space, ch 1, repeat from * across, dc in 3rd ch of turningch.

Repeat rows 2-3, ending with row 2, for a total of 20 rows, or as wide as you need shrug to be.

Fold in half, bringing the top of final row to the foundation chain.

Holding right sides together, sew 20 stitches in from each end to form sleeves. Weave in ends.
