The granny shrug is made from two granny hexagons joined together. It can be made in a wide range of sizes from child to adult, just keep adding rounds until it gets to the size you want. Similarly, experiment with yarn type and hook size - you might want to use two strands of 8 ply held together rather than using 14 ply, or might mix a chunky yarn with a finer one.

There are two versions of the instructions. A traditionally written pdf is accessible via thornberry here and there are step-by-step photographs and a video tutorial available from kootoyoo here. It’s all about whatever way suits you best!

Have fun crocheting your granny shrug - if you can crochet a granny square you can make this! Wear it with pride!
