Aaww, November. Time for winter to settle in. The days are shorter and it’s frosty outside. Why not enjoy sitting by the fire to stay toasty warm in your newly crocheted shrug.
This crocheted shrug is one of the easiest patterns to crochet because it is made as a simple rectangle, then folded and seamed.
Designed for beginners by Lion Brand yarns, this crocheted shrug measures about 32 x 40 in. (81.5 x 101.5 cm), before folding and seaming. Shrug will stretch to fit most sizes.
The pattern as shown uses Touch of Alpaca yarn by Lion Brand. Touch of Alpaca is a Size 4 weight yarn consisting of 10% alpaca and 90% acrylic. Alpaca is similar to sheep’s wool but warmer, softer, and hypoallergenic. The Touch of Alpaca blend offers these top qualities of natural fiber combined with durability and washability, all available in 16 stunning modern neutral & jewel tone colors. And the Bonus Bundle offers double the yardage for a reasonable price.
To make the crocheted shrug, you will need the following supplies:
- 6 balls of Lion Brand Touch of Alpaca or 3 balls of the Touch of Alpaca Bonus Bundle or equivalent Size 4 yarn
- Size K-10.5 (6.5 mm) crochet hook
- Stitch markers
- Yarn needle
