Girls Shrug

[aglarannaelf]

Here is my version of the shrug everyone is making now! It's for my husband's cousin's daughter. I made it for her birthday I think she's going to be 7. I'm really happy with this; it's my first clothing piece! And I timed it! Took me forever, cuz I haven't crocheted in a few months: 29.25 hrs. Wow...

OOOOHH very pretty!! You did a great job!! What yarn did you use? I am sure she will love it ....and all her friends will be so envious!!!

[aliciasjoy]

It's beautiful!

I'm working on one as well, but am using a "cheater" stitch of chains and sc's so it is going pretty fast.

I like your addition of the fluffy (eyelash?) yarn around the edges.

Gorgeous! I love the fuzzy border.

The majority of it is done with my favorite yarn, Caron Simply Soft (I love it because it IS so soft! Sometimes I feel like regular yarn is too rough...). I used the sweater stitch. The edging is Yarn Bee Frosting. I just did double crochet all around for the edging with it.

Me too, but I thought it would be fun for her, and the color matched perfectly for it!

I really like the shrug, and the fur trim is perfect! Nice job, you're about to make a little girl very happy.

It may have taken 29 hours but it is worth every minute . It is a very pretty shrug. She will it.
