Need help with design please

[Kelle]

I am currently working on my first Mrs. Who Shrug (and my very first non-hat / scarf wearable). I am working in a medium chenille, and have started the main shoulders / back in a sc dc pattern (not sure what this is called), which is fairly dense. I'd like to make it less dense as it goes down the arms (read: more holey) and then flare out at the ends of the sleeves.

 

What I'm asking for please is stitch design advice on how to achieve the gradual holeyness from shoulder to end of sleeve, knowing what my "base" stitch is? I probably should get my hands on the crochet stitch bible, but figured y'all with more experience would be able to offer assistance as well.

 

TYIA for any help / direction you can offer.

There are *so* many stitch options out there... it all depends on what you want. HERE's a good place to start, lots of different stitches to choose from.

You could gradually change the size of your hook to a larger hook and then on the other side, reverse the sizes.

Thanks for your replies! I checked out the stitches at cpc and think I might be able to make something work.... I guess it'll just be a matter of trial and error

 

Thanks again, and if anyone else has any suggestions, they are more than welcome
