Materials Needed:
- Yarn (preferably a medium weight)
- Crochet hook (size appropriate for the yarn)
- Scissors
- Darning needle
Pattern:
Start:
- Make a slip knot and chain half of your bust measurement.
Row 1:
- Chain 9, skip the first 9 chains, then double crochet in the 10th chain. Chain 3, skip 3 chains, and double crochet in the 4th stitch. Continue this pattern across.
Increase Row:
- Chain 6, turn, double crochet in the hole, chain 3, double crochet in the next hole. Repeat this pattern across.
Repeat:
- For subsequent rows, continue making 3 chains and a double crochet in the next hole until you reach the desired length for the front panel of the shrug.
Neck Hole:
- To create the neck hole, make 4 holes on one side and count 5 holes to create 4 holes on the other side. Multiply the count of the holes by 4, add 3, then make that number of chains. Make double crochet in the 5th hole, chain 3, double crochet in the next hole, and continue across.
Continue:
- After creating the neck hole, continue making the mesh holes as before until the front and back panels have the same length.
Join Panels:
- Use slip stitches to join the front and back panels together to form the armpit hole.
Arm:
- Continue working in rounds to form the arm of the shrug, using chain 3 and double crochet in each hole.
Finish:
- When the desired arm length is reached, chain 3, make a slip stitch to the next hole, chain 2, and cut the yarn.
Second Arm:
- Make a slip knot with yarn at the bottom of the other armpit hole. Repeat the process to create the second arm.
Finishing Touches:
- Use a darning needle to sew in any loose ends.
