Notes

Hook: 11.75mm
(not listed on Ravelry)

My gauge is slightly tight and I’d like the shrug’s length a little longer than the designer intended, so I’m crocheting some pieces larger than others:

Sleeves: Size 2
Body: Size 3 cast on and cluster repeats, Size 2 instructions for row repeats (make the shrug longer without making it wider)

With all the yarn held together, this project is FLYING off the hook. I know crochet is faster than knitting in general, but I wasn’t expecting to finish this project in almost one weekend! All pieces have been crocheted in 2 nights (I had a to frog back a good amount on the body too because I did the increases in the wrong open space), it will take a day or for them to dry from blocking, and then all I have to do is seam it all together!

So it took me a week to get my act together and block the pieces. I just finished seaming and weaving in the ends today.

I followed the seaming instructions for the back and then kinda did my own thing for the sleeves and sides. The seams doing totally match on each sleeve but I don’t really mind.
