Row-by-row crochet instructions

Begin crocheting the shrug from the back part.

Back part


Make a foundation chain of 151 chs to work 18 repeat or multiples of 8 chs plus 7 additional chs.
1st row (wrong side) – h2ch, sc5, [ch5, sk3, sc5] to end + RC4
2nd row (right side) – h6ch, trc1, ch1, sk1, trc2, [ch2, sk2, sc1, ch2, sk2, trc2, ch1, sk1, trc2] to end + RC1
3rd row – h2ch, sc5, [ch5, sk5, sc5] to end + RC4
Alternate 2nd and 3rd rows until you crochet 46 rows in total.

Front parts


Make a foundation chain of 63 chs to work 7 repeats or multiples of 8 chs plus 7 additional chs.
1st row = 1st row (back part)
2nd row = 2nd row (back part)
3rd row = 3rd row (back part)
Repeat the pattern starting from the 2nd row until you crochet 46 rows in total.

Join the back and first front part working like your 3rd row. Skip 35 chains from the first front part, and join second front part with the back one.

From each side crochet 2 rows. Attach the yarn to your back part to work the 1st row on the wrong side of the garment.

1st row (wrong side) – sc7, [ch5, skip an interval of about 3chs, sc5] to end; sc2 + RC4
