Openwork Shrug Crochet Pattern

Crochet an Openwork Shrug for Layering

Some days call for a layer that's light, not heavy. This shrug goes on over your shoulders in seconds and never feels bulky or fussy.

The rectangle base keeps the construction simple to follow, and you can adjust the stitch counts to get the width, length, and sleeve length you actually want.

Skill Level: Intermediate
Finished Size: 99–109 cm wide, 80 cm long (S/M and L/XL)

• One rectangle folded and seamed, so there's no complicated shaping to track
• Stitch counts adjust easily if you want it wider, longer, or roomier through the sleeves
• Ribbed cuffs finish the arm openings cleanly for a shape that holds its structure

       "The openwork stitch is easy to fall into a rhythm with, and resizing it was simpler than I expected."

Materials

• Worsted weight yarn (approx. 500 g / 10 balls for S/M, 600 g / 12 balls for L/XL)
• 4.0 mm crochet hook
• Thick sewing needle for seaming and weaving in ends
