Shrugs are lightweight, unique and so cozy!
They are the perfect cover-up for chilly evening walks and fun nights in. I love wearing them while reading a great book or watching a fantastic movie at home.
A shrug is the most stylish accessory and the perfect handmade addition to your wardrobe.
I love how easy they are to crochet because they don’t require much shaping and even better, they’ll be ready in no time.
If you start now, you may be able to wear yours this evening!
They are great gifts for relatives and friends, in case you need some inspiration for the holidays or someone’s birthday.
You can try many beautiful patterns and color combinations while crocheting a shrug. It would be a shame to miss out on them.
