A great beginner project for Tunisian Crochet.

This shrug is a mixture of regular crochet and Tunisian crochet available in S/M and L/XL. Pattern is written in US terms. It is worked one continuous, flat piece (excluding the cuffs) and the arms are seemed. If opting for the duel color shown in the picture, the color changes will be described with “Color Note”. The Tunisian Hook can be substituted with a K:6.50mm hook if the hook is the same dimensions through out (i.e. no handle) using a rubber band on the end to stop the stitches from falling off. The stitches will get cramped but it will work.

Stiches
st = stitch
sk = skip
sl = slip stitch
ch = chain
sc = single crochet
dc = double crochet
blhdc = back loop half double crochet
tss = Tunisian Simple Stitch
sc4tog = (Insert hook in next stitch, yarn over, pull loop through stitch) X 4. Yarn over and draw yarn through all five loops on hook.
blhdc inc = 2 back loop half double crochet in one st
blhdc dec = Yarn over, insert hook in back loop of stitch and draw up a loop (three loops on the hook). Yarn over and draw up a loop in the next back loo of stitch (five loops on the hook). Yarn over and draw through all loops on the hook.

Gauge
Arm: 4 dc = 1in/2.5cm x 3/8in/1cm.
Cowl: 17 hdc X 10 rows = 5in/13cm.
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 the gauge does not match try using a different size hook.
