Crochet Lovely Lacy Shrug
You know, sometimes there are cooler afternoons or evenings in the summer, I like to bring a light ponchos or a scarf or a nice shrug with me when we venture out on summer evenings, just in case.
I prepared a lacy summer shrug pattern that would nicely compliment many summer tops and dresses. I wanted this shrug to be really light and airy.
This Lacy summer shrug is absolutely fabulous and outstanding and will complete your outfits.
The shrug is worked in rows, creating an easy rectangle shape. The arm holes are completed at the very end, sewing the corners of the short edges together. Super easy to wear!
