Granny Shrug

 Well maybe it is more of a Cardigan than a Shrug ;)

I've been making this project for about a month, not that it takes long to make...but I usually have several things on the go at on time to keep me motivated.  This was a lovely relaxing project to work on and I decided to make it a little longer than the original.

This is a very clever yet simple pattern, made of two hexagons folded in half to form upside down L's which are joined down the centre back and along the top of the sleeve. 

The beauty of this design is you can use any type of yarn, just keep working until the hexagons are the right size for your requirements.

 I made a little loop at the front to hook around this lovely button I found at spotlight.

I used 7.5balls of Lincraft Veronica yarn and a 9mm

This made a lovely roomy plus sized cardigan for me :)

You can find the pattern on Here along with a helpful video

and the Ravelry project page is here

Thank you very much to Kirsty from the blog Thornberry

Have a lovely day
