Shrug #3 – the versatile all-rounder of the popular Shrug Family!

Cocoon cardigans are the perfect companions for every season – as a light vest in spring, a breezy layering piece in summer, or a cozy addition in autumn.

Here, the combination of two different stitch patterns brings extra movement and liveliness.
Especially clever: The edging is worked at a slight angle – creating a modern “blazer effect” that gives this shrug its unique character.

This model is the third design of the Shrug Family – perfect for anyone who loves variety and wants to complete their collection.

The shape remains wonderfully simple: no increases, no decreases.
That makes this shrug also perfect for beginners!

A detailed step-by-step description guides you row by row through the pattern.

For better understanding, the pattern includes 3 crochet charts as well as 3 diagrams that illustrate the creation of the shrug step by step.
