Notes

Started a test with this yarn and a G hook, then kept going. I’m having to do quite a few more rounds due to the smaller hook.

Trying to use up this random yarn in my collection.

The pattern seems to suggest working until the granny square is 20”, but I found that to be mighty small. I’ll keep working until it’s a bit bigger. I’m thinking closer to 24”.

03/11/2019

Finished height about 24”. Completed 30 rows.

I tried to decrease the armholes, but they were too large and I didn’t like how the fabric bunched around the cuffs. Instead I seamed part of the sleeve to make the armholes. I then added the sleeve ribbing as in pattern.

I added a scalloped edge to the body of the shrug:

In first CH space (DC, CH 1, DC, CH 1, DC, CH 1, DC) all in same space, * skip next stitch, SLST in next stitch, skip next stitch, in next CH space (DC, CH1, DC, CH 1, DC, CH 1, DC) all in same space * . Repeat between * * around.
