My version of the lionbrand crochet shrug:
I've been browsing the lionbrand.com pattern website for weeks now. I always seem to stop on this simple crochet shrug pattern.
Doesn't this look comfy? I must admit I didn't believe the pattern when I read the level was beginner, are they serious? with arm holes and everything, I just wasn't sure if I could do it.
Then around the fifth time I stopped on the picture I actually read the pattern. Much to my surprise this did look easy, the only stitch used is single crochet, then you basically fold the piece in half and sew up two sides for the arm holes.
Naturally, as you see above, I decided to attempt to make my own
Follow along with my process if you'd like:
