Fashion Doll Shrug

This shrug would look cute with any of your doll's strapless dresses. It is easy to make and you could make a few in an evening. A great item to sell at a school bazaar. The dress the doll is wearing is a pattern I designed earlier and can be found for free on this site.

Now you are going to form the sleeves at the each end by joining the first and 9th row using slst in a certain way.

Slst in the back lp of the 9th row and then slst in the bottom edge of the first row. Then slst in the back lp of next st of 9th row then slst in next st on first row. Continue in this way until you have slst into 12 sts of both rows. Then working on row 9, hdc in each of the next 4 hdc, dc in each of the next 13 dc, hdc in each of the next 4 hdc. Then Slst to the end in the same way you did with the first 12 sts. Fasten off and weave ends into work.

To put this on the doll, just put the arms into the sleeves with row 10 as the top. Done.
