Super quick warm crochet shrug

This mohair/polyester/wool/acrylic blend fibre in a giant 790 metre, 360 gr ball had been hanging out in the wool cupboard for some time while I decided exactly what to do with it... Another of those 'what a great price ... I'll get it and worry about what to do with it later' purchases! - No wonder the wool stash is rather large.
I had already made a scarf with the wool but that made only a very small dent in the ball and I felt I had to do something a bit more adventurous (while remembering I didn't really know how much wool was left.. 
Fortunately when we finally go a Spotlight store locally (Crafting supplies chain found throughout Australia and New Zealand)  I found they had a few free patterns lying on a table and the pattern for a shrug was on it...


It would have been so easy to just follow the pattern but I found the instructions were possibly recreating the craft of crochet as they didn't resemble anything I'd ever seen before.
So to make life a little simpler I used the concept and created a very simple treble crochet (DC in the US) rectangle... 80 treble in each row (I then just just kept going until the wool ran out!). Folded in half and the sides sewn leaving room for the arms and the garment was done.
The most difficult part was working with a 9mm hook, it's pretty huge compared to the smaller ones I'm used to using for blankets and throws.
On the right the finished shrug, warm, light, and able to be scrunched up into a fairly small ball to pack in the corner of a suitcase...
