Snug as a bug in a shrug

Finally!  A crochet item that my daughter is actually wearing!!!  She is loving her new shrug.  The shrug is a great alternative to a jacket on those slightly chilly days.
I actually made this for my daughter in the early spring.  Going off of memory, I think it took only 1 skein of yarn. (98% sure)   I love one skein wonders!
Swirls and Sprinkles: Free crochet pattern.  Child size shrug.

This shrug pattern is written for a child size.  The arms are wide because my daughter doesn't like anything to tug on her shirt.  The arm width is actually a decent size for an adult.  The pattern is very easily converted to any size, just keep crocheting until the piece is the length that you need, to go across the arms and back.

Granny Stitch Poncho

This crochet project was fun to make.  I don't know what took me so long to think of it.  If you have made anything with the granny stitch, you are going to find this a breeze to make.  I have a feeling that this is going to get a lot of wear, once the weather cools down, of course. 
I'd say that this pattern size is written for 3-5 years.  The pattern can be easily adjusted, though.  The collar of the poncho can be made larger or smaller by adding or subtracting from your beginning chain.  Of course the length is easily adjusted by adding or subtracting rounds.
