shrug for a little girl

[OzRebel]

My 8 yr old DD wants a shrug. She wears about a size 7. Thanks for any help! :ty

My six-year old daughter has really liked the shrugs I make from Mrs. Who's "fluffy pink shrug schematics." (http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=6750) It looked complicated at first but it's just a way of custom-making a shrug to fit her measurements exactly. Basically, you make a rectangle as long as the distance from wrist to wrist, sew it up on each end leaving an opening the width of her shoulders, and then go all the way around the open area and maybe around the wrists if you want to make a pretty design (ruffly or lacy or whatever) for the collar and peplum-y part. I've used very bulky yarn and regular WW and they've both come out perfectly.
