Countess Of Diamonds Shrug
"This versatile crochet shrug pattern is an easy project with no shaping, increasing or decreasing. The cardigan begins with working a granny square and then the corners are worked to create the diamond shape. To construct a rectangle from the square and to fit the different sizes, rows of granny stitch are added to extend the width on each side. Once assembled, the ribbing around the edging and cuffs is crocheted and you’re done! /Materials needed: 5mm / H/8 Crochet Hook Yarnsmiths Daydream Aran 1029, (1105, 1179, 1254, 1329, 1403, 1478, 1571) yds Stitch Markers Scissors Yarn Needle Instructions are written for sizes Small - 5X in UK and US Crochet Terms."
