Insert your crochet hook into the second chain from the hook. Wrap the yarn over the hook and draw the yarn through the chain. Repeat and draw the yarn through the two loops on your hook. This makes one single crochet. Continue working one single crochet into each chain across the row. Make one chain stitch and turn your piece of work.
Work one single crochet into each stitch across the row. Make one chain stitch and turn your work.
Continue working in rows of single crochet until your piece of work measures 14 inches long. Alternatively, crochet until the shrug reaches a comfortable length for your back. Fasten off your work by drawing the yarn through the last stitch of the row and pulling the yarn tight.
Fold the shrug in half lengthways and place a sewing pin 6.5 inches along the fold from each outer edge. This is your sleeve marker. Thread a new piece of yarn through the tapestry needle and sew along the line from the outer edge to the sleeve marker. Be sure to leave the main body of the shrug open. Repeat for the opposite side.
