Notes

• This pattern is written in US terminology
• The pattern is worked with one big granny square and two sleeves
• Ch3 does count as st at the beginning of each row
• Ch1 at the beginning of the row does not count as a stitch
• This pattern uses pattern repeats.
• You can work this pattern with one color or multiple as you wish- I used three colors
• If changing colors make sure to have a changing technique and weave your ends in.
• You can decide on the shrug size by adding rounds to the granny square and rounds to the sleeves
