\"Circles<\/a>I mean really really easy.<\/p>\n

All you need to do is crochet a rectangle then slip stitch the edges together to make sleeves.<\/p>\n

Is there anything easier than that?<\/p>\n

You can do this with any weight yarn and any size hook.<\/p>\n

I made one for myself and one for my daughter.<\/p>\n

Hers was done in a worsted weight yarn and took a couple of hours.<\/p>\n

Mine was done in a fingering weight yarn and took ages, mainly because I kept stopping and doing other things in the middle.<\/p>\n

You need to measure the length you would like the shrug to be. \u00a0Both of the ones I made were short sleeve ones.<\/p>\n

Start chaining, your chain should be a multiple of 5 + 2. \u00a0For my shrug the starting chain was 192 and for Lulu’s it was 62.<\/p>\n

Row 1:<\/strong> Turn and SC in the second chain from the hook, SC across till the end of the chain.<\/p>\n

Row 2:<\/strong>Turn and do a no turning chain dc<\/a> (the link takes you to a youtube video explaining how to) you can also do a 3 chain if you prefer. 2DC in the same stitch, *Skip 4 stitches, In the same stitch 2 DC, Ch 1, 2 DC* Repeat until you get to the last 5 SCs, Skip 4 and then 3DC in the last stitch.<\/p>\n

Row 3:<\/strong>Turn do a no turning chain dc, 2 dc in the same stitch, \u00a0skip all the DCs and work (2DC, CH1, 2DC) \u00a0CH 1 space only until you get to the last cluster which is 3DCs. \u00a0Work 3 DCs in the very last DC.<\/p>\n

Row 4:<\/strong>Turn do a no turning chain, 2 DC in same stitch, *CH2, SC in the space between the DCs in Row 2, CH2 . (2DC, CH1, 2DC ) in the next chain space. CH2, and SC in the space between the next DC clusters in row 2*. \u00a0Repeat until the last 3DC cluster and DC3 in the last DC.<\/p>\n

Repeat rows 2 – 4 until the shrug is as high as you want it.<\/p>\n

Turn your work and \u00a0SC in same stitch,* CH 4, SC in CH1 space* Repeat until you SC in the very last dc.<\/p>\n

Turn and SC in each SC and 4 SC in the CH4 spaces till the end.<\/p>\n

Now fold the rectangle over and either sew the edges or slip stitch together to form the shrug.<\/p>\n

Wear it and feel pretty good about yourself or make a mini one for the mini you in the house.<\/p>\n
