GAUGE:

13 hdc = 4 in. (10 cm).

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.

NOTES:

1. Piece is worked as a rectangle.
2. Snaps are sewn to the rectangle, then the ends are seamed.
3. The shape and the snaps provide multiple wearing options! Leave the piece unsnapped for a lush circular cowl. Snap a few of the snaps for a close fitting cowl. Snapping all of the snaps will create armholes. Slip your arms through to make a shrug!

SHRUG/COWL
Ch 208.
Row 1: Hdc in 3rd ch from hook (beg ch does not count as a st), hdc in each remaining ch across - 206 hdc at the end of this row.
Row 2: Ch 2 (does not count as a st), turn, working in back loops only, hdc in each st across.
Repeat Row 2 until piece measures about 12 in. (30.5 cm) from beg.
Fasten off.

FINISHING
Sew Snaps
Note: We sewed the snaps in place with straight stitches and a strand of yarn.
Unsnap each snap into 2 pieces. You will sew all 5 of the same piece to one section of the piece, and all 5 of the remaining pieces to a second section of the piece.
The piece is reversible, but for purposes of sewing the snaps in place, designate one side as the right side, the other as the wrong side.
Following diagram for placement, sew 5 matching snap pieces to the right side of the piece. Still following the diagram for placement, sew the remaining 5 snap pieces to the wrong side of the piece.
Sew ends together to form a tube.
Weave in ends.
