1.  Gauge: 2 sc and 2 rows = 1 sq. Inch.

   Main color: Work a foundtion chain that is as long as needed from front to back.

Make 2 sections, sew together down the center back.

Worked in the moss stitch.

Approx: 5 foot tall person: 60 inches long (approx. 120 stitches)

        5 ft. 4 “ tall: 64 inches long (approx. 128 - 130 stitches)

        5 ft. 8 “ tall: 76 inches long (approx. 152 - 156 stitches)

**NOTE: Plus sizes will need a longer foundation chain, best to check on body.

 

 

 

 

2.  Single crochet in the 3^rd stitch from the hook,

*chain 1, skip the next stitch, single crochet in the next stitch,

repeat from * across the row.

 

3.  Change colors as desired. (This sample changed to black.)

Chain 3, single crochet in the next chain 1 space, chain 1,

repeat from * across the row.

 

4.  Repeat step 3 until the rectangle is 1/2 the chest measurement plus an

 extra 2 inches.  

(Example: 36 inch chest: rectangle should be 20 inches wide. (18 + 2)

 

Place side by side, and sew the back seam.  (NOTE: do not sew 1/2 the length of

the rectangles, as the width across the shoulders should be allowed for the front

section; unless you wish the front to be shorter than the back. Therefore the seam

should be shorter than 1/2 the total length of the rectangle. Usually 5 - 12 inches,

depending on the size being made.)

(Example: 60 inch long rectangle, back seam should be approx. 25 inches long).

           (1/2 of 60 = 30 - 5 = 25)

Fringe: Cut yarn 11 inches long, attach along the

bottom with a larkshead knot.

 

If desired, connect the sides by sewing buttons through both

front and back layers.

TROUBLE SHOOTING:
