TENSION
5 by 5 c2c blocks measure 10x10cm (4x4in)

using a 5.5mm hook or size needed to obtain

correct tension

NOTES

The Shrug is worked as a rectangle, folded,

seamed, then ribbed borders are added.

The main piece is worked using a corner-to-

corner (c2c) construction in blocks of (ch3, 3tr).

Each ‘row’ is made up of a diagonal row of

blocks, starting with 1 block in the bottom

right corner, increasing to 2 blocks in the next

row, 3 blocks in the next, and so on.

There is a Chart on page 96 for you to refer to

for colourwork. Each square represents 1 c2c

block, beginning with Row 1 in the bottom

right corner. The black border and row

numbers show squares for size S/M and the

pink border and numbers show squares for

size L/XL. Read RS rows diagonally from right

to left and WS rows diagonally left to right.

Change colour on the ss before the ch3 of the

next block where colour change is indicated.

The finished piece is seamed according to the

schematic (bottom left), and a ribbed edge is

added around the opening and Cuffs.
