My nearly sixteen year old niece ( now my adopted daughter) wanted me to make something for her birthday. Somehow, I remembered her friend often wears a shrug at music class, so I suggested making one for her. She jumped at the idea, although she kept calling, she wears odd things to impress the class mates, this is a small city, these type of fashionable things are not welcomed by the rural neighbors’.
backside....
I tried, tried and tried again finally reached the goal. Laborious task, isn't it....with small size hook and thin yarn....
I ended up taking out about several rounds and rows of the pattern to make it fit my daughter. I held the shrug up to her as I made it and tried it on her several times while completing. She loves it and it was not that difficult to make. One parent at the music class said I should make them to sell, so maybe I will whip up another one to publish in any of the magazine.
I let my daughter keep it once it was finished instead of waiting for her birthday. I don’t think she could have waited until next month after having tried it on throughout the process of making it.
