Flowers are such a feminine theme, aren’t they? If you’d like to add a beautiful floral touch to your warm-weather look, follow this crochet pattern for the Meadow Lace Shrug by Sylwia Kawczyลska. It features an outstanding design made of lacy squares with flower motifs. With clean ribbing around the collar and sleeves, this crocheted summer cardigan is perfect for layering.
How Is This Crochet Lace Shrug Made?
This simple lightweight crochet shrug is built from one big rectangle. You just fold it in the corners and sew up the sides for the armholes. Then, the ribbed cuffs and collar are worked directly onto the garment. This makes it really easy to make and lets you actually focus on the stitch pattern itself.
Which Yarn Gives The Best Drape?
For best results, be sure to use fine cotton yarn, preferably in sport weight. It will make your garment light and drapey. The designer used Gazzal Baby Cotton with an acrylic blend, so the fabric you produce with it is also very soft to the touch. Pair it with a 3.5 mm crochet hook, perfect for lacework garment projects.
Can You Adjust The Size To Fit Your Body?
The shrug has a loose, relaxed fit, which makes it really comfortable to wear. If you want to make sure that it will fit your body nicely, check the fabric against your body before sewing. You can adjust its length by chaining any multiple of 19 plus 3 stitches in the foundation chain. And to make your project wider or narrower, simply work more or fewer rows.
