how to make an heirloom shrug

How to: make an heirloom shrug kootoyoo … click & hook

As with any project the key is having everything on hand that you’ll need. For this project you need… a crochet hook (say about a 3.5mm) an old square crochet tablecloth matching thread

Begin folding your cloth. Every one of these tablecloths I’ve ever seen has a scalloped edge. Brilliant because there is no measuring required. With right sides together match corner scallop with the second scallop below the fold.

Count down 3 scallops from the fold & insert your ﬁrst pin. The three scallops make your sleeve hole. rd3 scallop from fold Pin into place. Place your ﬁrst pin 3 scallops from the fold line. This “gap” will form your arm holes.

Begin by making a slip knot in your matching thread (I’m only using red so you can see it).

Insert your hook through the work at the “boPom” of your sleeve opening … yep – where you put that ﬁrst pin. Pick up your slip knot.

Pull your slip knot through to the front of the work.

Using the exisTng holes in the paPern begin chaining the two layers of cloth together.

Once you reach the end of the double thickness of fabric snip oﬀ your thread & weave in the end.

You can see that the line of chain follows the lines of the pins & no damage has been done to the original tablecloth as we have been using the exisTng holes. Remove your pins.

Repeat the line of chain sTtch for the other side/sleeve.

Now open up your folded & sTtched cloth into a kite shape. PosiTon your brooch – I made this one out of a vintage buPon but maybe you have something that belonged to your gran? Use that!

When you’re not wearing your shrug store it ﬂat & folded inside out so that you don’t stress your temporary seam too much.
