"Spring Shrug"

So, my friend Dee asked me to rewrite a pattern so that she could read it better. The original pattern can be found by clicking (these words here). I do not own this pattern, but any images seen in this post are mine and were made to help better understand this pattern.

• Chain the desired length (as in the image above, in comparison to your own body). Once you have done so, please go back and count the stitches. If you divide the number by four, you should get a whole number that contains no decimals.

• In the fifth chain from the hook, double chain once.

• Chain three, skipping three stitches on your initial chain, Double chain in the fourth st. Repeat until you reach the end of the row.

• Chain 4. In the second stitch (the middle one), put a double chain. Chain three, and repeat the second sentence. Repeat third sentence across.
• Repeat previous step until you reach the desired height for your garment. I would recommend that you make it high enough so that when measured it measures the same or bigger than the largest part of your arm.
• At this point, when you finish the length, it should look like a giant crisscrossed rectangle.
• Now, you have two options to proceed. Basically you are doing the same thing, just with different supplies. Using either a sewing needle and thread, or a darning needle and yarn (I'd recommend the latter using the same yarn), stitch the sleeves closed to the desired length.
