I have not made this yet, but, it caught my attention right away. I wasn't even looking for this but I can't wait to make it. My question is this: I am an ample woman and, normally, "one size fits most" is so small I couldn't even get the two fronts to meet! This is a pattern that looks like it is easily up-sizeable. The description reads that it is a rectangular shape with armholes. Can it be up-sized to fit a 4X or more? Any ideas? thanks

I love this pattern! It is so simple to follow, and you can try out various yarns to see which ones suit you best. I first tried it with what the suggested yarn in the pattern, but wool and I do not agree. I also followed instructions to the T, and I tend to crochet loosely, so it was much larger than I intended. I've crochet 6 of them so far. Love it! Each one is unique. I love bright colors so chose some that were brighter. I also tried a bright medium worsted color, and it turned out perfect as far as size. I used a double strand of yarn. However, this yarn pills far too much. I have used two cake yarns and the color Crayon Box. The first one I messed up on the Crayon Box. This second one I took out all the pink and love it! However, I could have shortened the rows by about 6, I think. The Crayon Box yarn tends to stretch more, I believe. Maybe I will try it with an N hook next time. Yes, there will be a next time! I wish we could post pictures of this finished here! Nanc

Saw this product in a post on Facebook. Loved it immediately. Ordered the materials and purchased the pattern the same day. Received my materials about a week or so ago, and have completed my shrug. It is beautiful. No problems with the pattern or understanding the instructions. The yarn was fantastic and very easy to work with. I love my new shrug, it was my birthday present to myself. It is warm and versatile.

I used the exact yarn the pattern called for but I used a P crochet needle. Of course it made it a little smaller but I am small. It is very warm and comfortable. The pattern was easy to follow. I really like the way the cuff looks.

Could I use King Cole DK yarn for this shrug? If so how much yarn? Thanks!
