Free Crochet Pattern: Simple Sassy Shrug
With beginner crocheters in mind, here is a shrug that is simple yet sassy. If you can crochet a rectangle then you can easily crochet this. The basic idea is to first crochet a rectangle and then sew up the two ends to form the sleeves. It is just as simple as that! Anyone can fit into this shrug since it can be easily adjusted. Just follow the instructions within the pattern to adjust the sleeves and the length as needed.
Finished Size: 30” (76 cm) width from end of arm to arm, 10” (25.5 cm) tall from neck to bottom

Crochet Pattern: Shrug
Start by chaining 28 or a chain that fits around the largest part of your arm
Row 1: ch 2, dc in third ch from hook and in each ch across: 28 dc
Row 2 – 42: ch 2, turn, dc in each dc across: 28 dc
Finish off.
Note: If the shrug is not the width that you desire (from the end of one sleeve to the other), continue to repeat the last row in the pattern.
To create sleeves, fold your work in half such that each row is folded in half. Starting at one end, sew piece together until you have sewed the length of 12 rows. Sew together the same length on the other side for the second sleeve. If you chose to alter the size of this shrug you may also want to alter the length of each sleeve.

This is great. I think I can adapt it to make a sweater for my son’s little dog. And a shrug for myself.

Good point Dottie! I forgot to write that you can sc around the opening to make the back longer and the front more closed. But I am working on another shrug, and this one will cover more back
I like the suggestion about the dog sweater Betty! I didn’t even thing about that. It’s a great idea
Thank you so much for this pattern idea. I was making one for myself and I knew you could make a rectangle and fold it in a way to make the shrug, but your intstructions just help a little more. I have four weeks to make the shurg to go with a halter dress that I bought for a wedding. Do you think I could use this same pattern with linen yarn?
Hey Robin!
Sure you can use the same pattern. It doesn’t really matter what kind of yarn you use. Just make sure that you measure so you know how big or small to make your rectangle
Have fun at the wedding!
Hi, Rachel…thanks for sharing this pattern..I’ll try to make it for my girl, Fda…she love this shrug..hugs…:-)
I love this shrug
I’m working on it right now in black
Very cute pattern. I’m thinking it would be fun to tinker around with it and make it in little girl sizes.
Hello Rachel

Hi Nicole, you can crochet around the opening of the shrug after you’ve sewn it together.
