Free Pattern: Square to shrug

It has been a long time since i made my first free pattern on sale, now I am giving it for free. Thanks for visiting my site :)

Description of the project:

The idea behind the project is to create a simple shrug out of crocheted square, slip stitched
at both ends to form the sleeves. This shrug is made in rows and does not need sewing. It’s
great for crocheters who want easy, lightweight project that could be done in three hours or
less.
The shrug is made from soft cotton of bulk weight using 4.0mm crochet hook (US Size).

The pattern consists of the usual combination stitches:

  • 4dc open shell with 1 ch
  • 3dc closed shell
  • crossed Fpdc (Front Post Double crochet) with 1 ch
  • 3 dc cluster.

These stitches will be described more in the section: Special Stitches.

Finished Project:

This is the finished product. It’s great for tube – blouse, spaghetti- strapped blouse, a tube
dress.

What can a 100g wool yarn do?

I was amazed that the answer to the question is MUCH.

I was able to finish a scarf that measures approximately 70in x 12in using just a 100g of wool. The fabric was soft and light weight, it makes me think if i would want to finish the bolero i was working on because i have to finish it using the white acrylic yarn.

Here are some highlights:
