Free Crochet Bridal Shrug Pattern

I accessed this pattern a couple of weeks ago for my son's fiancee. The pattern is missing adequate instructions, cast on is 162 yet chart is only 52 stitches for the large size. The chart shows a bottom with missing stitches that form a wave in the shrug yet this is not explained in the written instructions. All in All a major fail.

• Thank you for your feedback regarding the Aunt Lydia’s Bridal Shrug. This pattern is a filet crochet pattern. The diagrams aren’t like traditional crochet. Each square of the diagram represents a series of stitches, not necessarily one stitch per square. For instance, the empty squares represent “Ch 2, skip next 2 sts, edc in next stitch.” For the complete list of symbols and what is to be done per symbol, the Chart Key can be found on page 4 of the pattern. We are confident you can successfully make this Bridal Shrug and we are happy to help with any questions you have along the way. Please don’t hesitate to reach out for help. To get you started, let’s take a look at a breakdown of Row 1 for the Large size. I have arranged it so that you can compare it to the symbols on the chart. It will help you get into the rhythm of how the chart is worked. Size Large Only Starting at top edge of shrug, ch 162. Row 1: Edc in 4th ch from hook, edc in next 11 ch (4 blocks made), —Note: The ch 3 which is left from making the edc in the 4th ch from hook is counted as an edc here. ch 2, skip next 2 ch, edc in next 10 ch (1 space; 3 blocks made), *[ch 2, skip next 2 ch, edc in next ch] twice (2 spaces made), edc in next 9 ch (3 blocks made)*; repeat from * to * once, ch 2, skip next 2 ch, edc in next 46 ch (1 space; 15 blocks made), ch 2, skip next 2 ch, edc in next 10 ch (1 space, 3 blocks made), repeat from * to * twice ch 2, skip next 2 ch, edc in next 13 ch (1 space; 4 blocks made), turn—Row 1 of Size Large Chart complete. Happy knitting and congratulations on the upcoming nuptials!

I am left handed and I want to know, can I follow the chart from left to right? Also I want to make this in navy and only see size 10 crochet thread. If I use size 10 would I make it one size up or two sizes up?

Hi I'm having exactly the same problem with this beautiful Shrug. I'm making the xlarge size and 1st row is perfect. When it comes to the chart it's not clear. I've tried I'm giving up though I wanted it for my niece's wedding in a months time.
