Crochet Summer Shrug Pattern to Fit Up To 60" Bust • Banana Moon Studio

Crochet summer shrug pattern

I’m so thrilled to tell you about this crochet summer shrug pattern! I was asked to design a crochet pattern for the July 2022 KnitCrate LL Yarn Co. Quarterly Retreat Club! I was given a beautiful mood board of sunsets and sunscapes to inspire the design along with the request that it be something for the home or to wear, but not a shawl. I’m guessing they get a lot of shawl designs.

What can you do with 800 yds of sport weight?

I was excited to see if I could design a size-inclusive openwork shrug with the 800 yds (300 g) of sport weight yarn that would come in the box to subscribers. It turns out that that was just enough to make a shrug that could work for almost anyone. The pattern includes four sizes so you can choose how tightly or loosely you’d like your shrug to fit. When I make one for myself to keep, I’ll be making the largest size because I want a nice loose fit (not to mention that I’m not exactly petite).

Four sizes may not seem like enough to work for a large range of body sizes, however, this shrug is meant to have an oversize fit, so those four sizes do cover a large range.
