FINISHING
Weave in ends. Block pieces to schematic measurements. Sew shoulder seams. Overlap back necks of pieces and sew together. Sew lower edge of each collar half to back neck. Sew ends of collar halves together. Seam back shoulder to front shoulder on each Half by sewing across from point A to point B. Lap back of Left Half over back of Right Half. Sew through both layers along back neck. Sew two halves of collar together at center back then sew neck edge of collar to back neck of Shrug. Sew Sleeve seams. Sew sleeves into armholes. Edging
From RS, join yarn with sc anywhere along outer in edge of Shrug at beg of one Half at back neck. Work sc evenly spaced all the way around outer edge; join with sl st in first sc. Fasten off.The above is only a summary of corrections; the corrected pattern text is below (if free) or shipped upon completion of order (if purchased)
A shrug jacket like this one is fun to make and the ideal garment to wear in the colder seasons. The body of the pattern is made in two rounded semi-circular portions and joined to form the sides and collar; the sleeves are added last to complete the look.

Only one hook is needed for each size. Use the smallest hook to make size S, the middle-size hook to make size M/L, and the largest hook to make size 1X/2X.

GAUGE:
For smallest size: 4 V-sts (or 12 sts) = 3 in. (7.5 cm) + 8 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) over V-st pattern with smallest hook; For middle size: 5 V-sts (or 15 sts) + 7 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) over V-st pattern with middle-sized hook; For largest size: 6 V-sts (or 18 sts) = 5 1/4 in. (13.5 cm) + 6 1/2 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) over V-st pattern with largest hook.
BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
STITCH EXPLANATION:
V-st (V-stitch) (Dc, ch 1, dc) in indicated st or sp. V-st-INC (V-stitch increase) (Dc, ch 1, dc, ch 1, dc) in indicated st or sp.
NOTES:
1. Shrug is worked in two pieces. Each piece forms half of the collar and half of the body. 2. Each half is worked back and forth in rows in a semi-circle shape, from the armholes outwards. 3. The pieces are overlapped at the back, and optionally at the front. The Shrug is meant to be worn with a variable amount of overlap at the front, allowing the Shrug to fit a range of sizes. 4. Use a hook that allows you to achieve the gauge specified for the size you wish to make. 5. Increases are achieved in two different ways; 1) a V-st-INC is worked into a ch-1 sp, 2) a V-st is worked into the sp between V-sts. When instructed to work a V-st in the sp between V-sts, work into the sp between the V-st just worked and the next V-st. 6. Stitch markers are used to separate the body sts and the collar sts. All body shaping increases are worked in the center section, and all collar increases are worked in the collar section. You may wish to use different color markers for the body markers and collar marker. Move markers up as work progresses.

Place a marker after first 8 V-sts. Place another marker before last 8 V-sts. There should be 8 V-sts between the markers (for armhole). All body increases are worked between the markers.> Move markers up as work progresses.

Circular Shrug Reviewed by Carolyn Fish on 2012-10-27
Loved making this shrug,however I would call it a sweater. The Instruction for putting it together leaves alot to be desired,but I finally got it. The next time I make it I will make the sleeves longer.
