Agnes Creates shares a gorgeous free lacy shrug crochet pattern that doubles as a wonderful way to practice the classic double crochet stitch. This delicate and chic shrug makes a lovely cover-up for an evening dress or a breezy summer outfit. The entire piece features a seamless, one-piece construction that is incredibly satisfying to make.
To create this garment, you will need fine #2 weight cotton yarn and a size H (5.0 mm) crochet hook. While the basic pattern fits a size S/M with comfortable three-quarter sleeves, it is very easy to customize for larger sizes by repeating rows 2 through 9. To get the perfect custom fit, measure your length from one arm, across your back, to the other arm with your arms lifted sideways. Trying the piece on as you work ensures your DIY shrug fits perfectly before you finish!
