Anitra NallsHi,,would like to know if rather or not you can use a different granny square pattern other than the hexagon? cannot follow your pattern for your hexagon and finding it difficult to find a look alike.would really like to do your granny square shrug.the simplist I have seen thus far..7 months ago
Are you sure you want to
SammiDearmondI love it. Just one thing I wondered, what should the dimensions be on each finished peices by? I understand this will vary to some degree depending on your size and how you want it to fit, but I just wanted something to work off from for my first granny shrug. I can't wait to show it off to my hooker friends. Thank you so much.
There is a PDF line by line pattern available at http://thornberry.wordpress.com

Make sure that you have chained 2 between the treble clusters on the points of the hexagon & only chained one between treble clusters along the sides of the hexagon.

Finished hexagon motif.
You need to make a second.
The hexagon shape will fold in on itself to form an “L”
Once you have two hexagons completed lay them out as pictured.
If you’ve made the motifs reversible as I did then there really isn’t a right or wrong way to put it together.
Starting at the neck seam down the centre back seam.
I switched to a smaller hook so that I wasn’t trying to jam the monster 15mm through the stitches & just concentrated on making my stitches nice & loose. I used double crochet.
If you think you want to edge the shrug just “hold your place” while you seam the shoulders.
Position your neck opening & add markers.
Seam along to your marker.
Again, I used double crochet.
Once you hit your neck marker just slip stitch along the back of the neck opening until you reach the marker on the other side.
Then double crochet the other shoulder seam.
Now you can pick up the loop you marked at the base of the centre back seam & edge the garment if you wish.
I edged this one with double crochet.
Now weave in your ends. If you’ve used the Wilderness 100g balls then you shouldn’t have too many…hooray.
Wear your shrug with pride.
Seams in (as pictured) for a lovely drape OR seams out for a more structured look.
