This ladylike crochet shrug is made with sportweight yarn. Lightweight and airy, a cute outfit for Spring and Summer time. I made the sample with elbow-length sleeves but you can always adjust the length as you wish.

Yarn needle
Scissors

Abbreviations

Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each round/ row instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into the same stitch ( counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each round/ row, so choose your best technique 🙂

Special stitch used:

3 dc – V stitch: ( 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc ) into the same stitch or space.

This crochet lacy love shrug pattern fits sizes L and XL ( chest size: 36 to 42 inches )

Skill level: Intermediate

Gauge: 10 double crochet stitches x 4 rows approximately 2 inches ( with materials indicated )
