(US) September CAL Dazzling shrug

You can apply HERE

Yeah! It's almost time! Time to start the first CAL! An amazing shrug designed by my mom. She got her inspration from the Bernat wonkey square afghan. <= click here for the afghan pattern.
She finished her shrug and showed it at our crochet group...And it was taken! hahaha. I really loved the shrug and am making it myself at the moment. My version is slightly different. I am using 5 different colors. The original has 2. Both versions will be described in the CAL. We made a special CAL group on Facebook for all your questions, comments and of course the announcement of the CAL parts! Pattern is available in Dutch and in US terms.


About the September CAL:

The CAL wil be publiced in 4 parts.
Every week a new part will be available on the blog.
Starting date: September 8th! The pattern will be posted at 10 am. (ET) every week on friday i will post a new part of the CAL at the same time.

Sizes:

The pattern has been designed in a way that any size (S to XXXL) can be made. Put your arms up ( Like your an airplane) and let someone else measure from elbow to elbow. That's all you need to know to make your own custom dazzling shrug! You'll be using these measurements in the 3rd part of the CAL. At the end of part 3, your "square" will be elbow to elbow.

The Yarn:

The yardage is based upon the number of skeins we needed for the sizes.
We recommend to use yarn suitable for hook size F/5 and G/6.

Lana grossa cool wool melange color 140 (green)

You can pick your own yarn of choice, but i would recommend to buy yarn suitable for crochethook 3.5mm, 4mm. The pattern can be different when you use a bigger or smaller hook. The base will be off and so will be your shrug.
