Filet Lacy Shrug

Short and sweet, the simple shaping of this shrug makes it a terrific introduction to both garment-making and filet lace crochet. The filet pattern is completely charted to help you in stitching and the fit is easily adjustable by lengthening or shortening the sleeve seams.

Skill Level: Intermediate

Size: 28” (30”, 32”) cuff to cuff x 13” (14”, 15”) tall

Gauge: 9 squares (height or width) = 4” [10 cm] in filet crochet after blocking

Materials

Yarn: Designing Vashti Lotus (52% cotton, 48% rayon; 256 yards [235 meters]/100 grams): #015 Purple Glow (2 (2, 3) skeins)
Hook: US size G/6 (4.25 mm) or size needed to obtain gauge
Notions: Tapestry needle

Special Stitches

To increase: While following chart for your size, add 1 dc in third stitch from each edge, incorporating the added stitches into the charted pattern for the following rows. When there are not enough stitches to add a full block, work the added stitches in dc.
To decrease: While following the chart for your size, decrease on st after the 3 dc on each edge, incorporating the new stitch count into the charted pattern for the following rows. When there are not enough stitches to remove a full block, work the odd stitch in dc. 

Pattern Notes

Shrug is worked side to side, beginning and ending with 3 rows of plain double crochet, then following the chart for the size you are making.
Stitch diagram does NOT show 3-row cuffs, or additional solid block that should be added at beginning and end of each row for border.
