Modified as follows:

Cuffs:
3: repeat 22 times
Also used conicut’s modifications for thumbholes. (started my holes after 7th sc from end instead of 5th sc) http://www.ravelry.com/projects/conicuts/warm-hug-shrug

Shrug:
Although I enjoyed using stitches from the original pattern on my first shrug, I wanted something that worked up a little more quickly this time. I chained 22, then treble in 3rd chain from hook and in each ch across. Continued with rows of treble crochet to desired length. (After the initial row, I placed the trebles in between the trebles from the previous row. This was easier than crocheting into the stitch, especially with Homespun yarn.)

Joined sleeves from cuff to about 7 rows up.

Finished measurements: 9” x 96”
