[Nfb-krafters-korner] For Lisa Maria, the Lion Brand shrug pattern

[Lisamaria Martinez, NOMC]

Candy, 

I guess I am confused as to how to fold the material and sew the armholes. I thought according to the instructions you fold The crocheted material in half and sew up the short sides partway leaving an opening for your arms where the armholes sit near the folded edge. If this is the case, how do you wear it because I am just not understanding how it ought to look? Thank you.
