Ingredients: 4 x 50gm Anny Blatt Cachemir Anny in Boise

1st row: Work 1tr, 2ch, 1tr (1dc 2ch 1dc) into 8th ch from hook. *3ch, miss 4ch, wk 1tr, 2ch, 1tr (1dc, 2ch, 1dc) into next ch; rep from * to last 3ch, 2ch 1tr (2ch, 1dc) into last ch, turn

2nd row: 4ch (count as 1dtr tr) miss first 2ch sp, work 5dtr

Rep 2nd and 3rd rows until 27" (or length required) has been worked. Fasten off (Bind off).

Making up: Fold rectangle of fabric, cast on and cast off edges should be together with fold opposite. From folded edge leave 7" open (or length required for armhole) and stitch at each side, to form the sides.

Outer Edging: Starting were you want the middle of the collar to be: (you will be working in rounds!)

Wk 1 row tr (dc) evenly around outer edge, join with a ss to first st.
Wk another row of tr (dc) join with ss as before.
Continuing working in 'rounds' wk 1 row in htr (hdc), 1 row in dtr (tr), 1 row in tr (dc) finishing off with 1 row htr (hdc), cast off, (bind off).

Darn in all loose threads.

Aruba Blue Notes:
This pattern was originally not intended for publishing. This is a guide only using a traditional stitched rectangle and a simple edging. Have fun!!x

See y'all soon

  3. What a perfect pattern. Simple but the collar dresses it up easily. I have a wedding to go to in a week & I have the perfect yarn for this. Thanks so much for sharing.

    fit the bill, since freelancers reduce overhead energy use, eliminate the
    gas consumed in commuting, and don't need paper to do their jobs. Search engine optimization, or optimizers, is short for search engine optimisation drives more traffic to your website.

  9. Only half finished and already loving it. You might think it's a simple pattern that shouldn't need to be written however sometimes all someone needs is a little help with ideas. Simply elegant pattern. Thank you for your contribution. It means a great deal to us less fortunate in the creative area.

  14. I got my pic of the beautiful shrug from Share A Pattern, search under crochet, but they're not easy to find sometimes. I'd post it here but I don't see a way to do
    that. I like it better than any I've seen tho! :)

  15. Hi Barbara Shewbridge - this was at the very top of her pattern page, you must have missed it.

    Ingredients: 4 x 50gm Anny Blatt Cachemir Anny in Boise
    4.50mm (G/6) hook

    My question to Catherine Wilson: What is what weight of this yarn? I searched and found a lot of Anny Blatt yarns, but none that says exactly the kind you listed, nor did I see the weights of any. I might have to substitute, but I'd like to get the same weight as you did. I don't want to add any bulk with the yarn and I usually use 2 ply, sometimes 3 ply, for garments. Thx for the lovely pattern an any help you can give us on the yarn weight! I'll check back soon, would love to have one ready for the fall and I have a lot going on (don't we all tho?!)susan

  16. How do you make this bigger? I am new to crochet and have a 46 inch chest. I LOVE the shawl!

  17. Nadine Melchior, to make it a bigger size, increase the starting chain with a multiple of the stitches used in the repeat of the pattern

  18. I am looking to make this pattern for my cousin for Christmas. I was going to use hobby lobby yarn with is a 4 weight. Is that the similar to the yarn you used? I'm not familiar with the kind that you used here. I really like this pattern though. If I was going to make it for someone who was a chest size 50?, how much bigger would you recommend that I make it? I am relatively new a crocheting this type of project. I normally stick to hats! Simple and easy.

  22. The shrug is beautiful. I don’t understand why some numbers are in red. Do the trebles go in the same stitch as the double crochets?

  24. Janie Hernandez, the numbers in red are the instructions in US english. They have different names on either side of the Atlantic for the same stitches. So what is a treble (tr) in the UK is a double crochet stitch (dc) in the US. Hope this helped.
