Beatrice Shrug Progress

I've finished the two pieces of the Berroco Beatrice shrug: the shrug portion and the tie. Now I just have to sew them together. I used Bernat Satin instead of the Berroco yarn, which was a good substitute. The chevron pattern was too wordy and seemed like the stitch count was incorrect somewhere. I eventually figured out how to make it work, but I'd never use this stitch pattern again. If I made another one of these shrugs, I'd consult a stitch dictionary for a better chevron pattern.

Hey! I found your entry via a google search. I'm struggling with that same Berroco pattern, can you give suggestions on how to interpret it/modify it?

Thanks!

Victoria, read the October post I added on the completion of the Beatrice shrug. That should give you some ideas if you're still working on the pattern.
