A couple years ago, I published a post here about how many increases are needed per round for different basic crochet stitches to lie flat. The post included pictures of swatches of each, including one in treble crochet. Before then, other than the occasional doily or twelve inch square, I really hadn't done anything with trebles. I certainly hadn't played around with using them as the basis for a fabric. The swatch was small, but it was enough for me to want to experiment.
The result of that resulting experimentation is the Trouble With Trebles Shrug. It's a cute little shrug, worked in lace weight mohair or brushed alpaca with a size H (5 mm) hook. The shrug is worked from the top down as a crescent and has short, slightly flared sleeves, making it a perfect accessory to provide a little warmth from the breeze on a summer evening. It's made in one piece, with no sewing, and almost entirely in treble crochet. Instructions are only provided in one size, as the finished shrug should fit a variety of sizes.
If you have 50 grams of pretty, lace weight mohair in your stash, this is the perfect project to highlight it!
