Thank you for your kindness in sharing this lovely pattern with us.

Hi, chance upon this beautiful shrug. 😍 I want to make a bigger rectangle. How do I calculate to increase the stitches? Thanks.

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi! Yes, you can definitely make a bigger rectangle. All you have to do is increase the initial amount of chains (beginning chain). You also have to take the multiple of the stitch into account. So for this stitch, its a multiple of 4. So you can make it however big you want, but make sure you start your beginning chain with a multiple of 4. I hope this helps, but let me know if you need more help!! :)

[@debbyavery5693]

Love this pattern, and am working on it now. But I’m a little confused about the measurements of 32 1/2” W x 42”L. Is the W measurement from the shoulder down, & L measurement from fingertip to fingertip? The yarn I’m using is more of a #3 weight and I had to chain a significant amount more to get 42”.

[@JewelsandJones]

Thank you so much! Yes, so the 42" is how long the garment is and 321/2 " is how wide it is. I think the reason you had to chain more is because of the weight of the yarn, sometimes this can change the stitch count. As long as your ending measurements are correct it should turn out good. This design is also meant to be very slouchy and oversized. I hope this helps, but please let me know if you need more help. :)

I love this pattern and cannot wait to try it. Thank you for you clear instructions! I am slightly struggling with the yarn substitution, if you could help me, please. I understand that number 4 is a medium yard and it is recommended to use a 6.5mm hook. You are using a much smaller one. Is that on purpose?? I would like to use wool (and I live in the Netherlands so need to substitute) but I am confused what I can use. Shall I choose a yarn that recommends a 6.5mm hook and then use a smaller one like you do? Or shall I just get yarn suitable for 5mm hook?? Thank you!

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi, thank you for your question. I tend to crochet more on the looser side, so I always have to go down one to one half of a hook size (so totally on purpose). For this pattern, I would recommend choosing a yarn that requires the 6.5mm hook. If you find that the stitch is coming out very big and loose, drop down a hook size. You can always make the gauge swatch as well. I hope this helps, but please let me know if you need more help. By the way, I love the Netherlands! I grew up there and go back to visit once a year.

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I am new to crocheting and I believe I can do this. However, I was wondering if you could help me on the chain count for foundation row if I wanted to make it for a size 1xl-2xl using either a 4 wt. or 5 wt. bulky for warmer weather. Also, would the length of the shrug depend on the rows that are made? I am only 5'3" tall.

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi there! Welcome to Crochet :) Thank you so much for giving my pattern a try. I would measure from tip to tip (so measure the length right above your risk, from right side to left side). Then you want to go ahead and see how many chains you get in one inch, multiply that by your measurement (tip to tip). Whatever number you get, make sure its a multiple of 4. So if you're off by one or even two, add those additional chains. You might have to adjust your row count for the length of the shrug. So I would measure from shoulder to hip. After that's done, you just want to follow the pattern as is. I hope this helps, but let me know if you need any more help!

Hi there, you can chain 1 and add a single crochet border to the rectangle before folding the edges and seaming the sides together. I also used this stitch for a blanket and added a puff stitch border. You could add a puff stitch border, but I would recommend making the shrug and adding the border last.

Hi there, it might have to do with tension. Are you using the same hook and yarn? If you are, try going up one hook size and see if that helps straighten out the panel.

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi, thank you so much! Yes, I'm using a number 4 worsted weight yarn. If you want to make it bigger, I would just increase the amount of rows for the shrug.

[@leighbell703]

Lovely design. I just completed the shrug. My only concern is that one armhole is the starting row so it doesn’t have the lovely wave pattern and looks very different to other arm hole

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi there, I'm thinking you may have sewed it on the wrong side. So you want the foundation row to be the bottom, and the wavy end on top. This way when you fold it in on the sides the sleeves are the same. You could also make a puff stitch border around your shrug and the armholes. Just an idea, but if you didn't feel like taking it a part that would be one way to fix it. 😊

Hi. yes you can use a light weight 3 yarn, but I would double check your gauge swatch. You might have to adjust your hook size. I haven't tried it with a light weight yarn, so I'm not sure, but your stitches might be a lot more looser. I hope this helps! :)

[@juhanajannah3702]

Dear how much yarn needed? Beautifully done btw❤️

[@JewelsandJones]

Thank you so much! You will need about 1,296 yards of yarn. You can find the pattern information her jewelsandjones.com/the-blanket-shrug-free-crochet-pattern/

Hi - this is beautiful! The stitch pattern is so pretty! I haven't worked with this yarn before. Is it easy care ... meaning ok for machine wash & dryer? Thank you and take care. Kris K from CT 🧶🌻🙂

[@JewelsandJones]

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the tutorial :) Yes, the yarn is pretty easy to take care off. I like to wash it in cold water and then I just let it air dry. I haven't tried the dryer though.

Can i use 3 weight yarn

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi there, I would make a gauge swatch first and see if you like using the lighter yarn. Based on your swatch, you may have to add more stitches since you're using a different weight of yarn.

[@carolhandeland7156]

@@JewelsandJones is the foundation chain the top or the bottom?

[@edithadams2009]

How long should the beginning chain row be? How many chains? You're tutorial only shows 16" for the swatch. In order to see the pattern ytube wants to charge me

Hi there, I'm not sure what happened, but the video is for free. There's a link in the description box and that'll bring you to the pattern notes and directions.

Am I missing something? 16 chains? All I end up with a very very long scarf?

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi there, in the video I show a small sample swatch of the stitch used. You can find all the details about the pattern in the description box. It'll have a link for the pattern.

[@jenniferpearsall7198]

I’m missing something. You had us start with 16 in the chain and you tell us to go 80+ rows but you end up with a huge square. You don’t tell us to increase or what the measurements of the square is before you make the sleeves. In my estimation I’ll have a scarf. What am I missing??

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi there, the construction of this pattern is pretty neat because you make the sleeves by folding in the sides. So there's no need for increasing like in other patterns. There's a link in the description box that will bring you to this post on my website and it has a photo on how to do this. It might help or visualize how it all comes together. 😊

[@candiencerunquist251]

The 16 chain was for the swatch maybe

[@carolinaayala6662]

It’s just a sample of the stitches. You wanna repeat those until you make a big rectangle

[@charlyne1]

You are supposed to chain 132

Is thr foundation chain the top or bottom of the shawl?

Hi there, the foundation chain would on the bottom of the shrug.

[@WendysCraftDen]

Will this work out in an Aran weight please xxx

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi there, yes it should work as this pattern is quite flexible in terms of what weight you use. I would recommend making a gauge swatch as well to see if you like the result of the yarn used. Happy making!

[@WendysCraftDen]

Hi and thank you. I have knitted/crocheted for many decades but I have only today realised the usefulness of doing a swatch to find the right tension mainly in crochet because I know I am fine with tension with knitting. Thank you very much. XXXX

It is easier for me to multiple 16, till reach the lenght I want on my body (all the way from left hand to right hand through top of my shoulder). Hope this help.

How I love these demonstration films with WHITE yarn on a WHITE background... such great contrast and visibility...🤦‍♀️🙈

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi there, isn't it great? But in all honestly, thank you for pointing this out. This was one of my earlier videos and I've learned so much along the way. Dark color yarns are also harder to see when doing stitch tutorials. As they say, you live and you learn! 😊
