You can learn how to crochet this lacy crochet shrug with a detailed lace crochet fabric which is a lot easier than it looks and perfect for beginners looking to a delicate bolero to throw over a long sleeved top on those colder days.
The finished effect of this pattern can be easily changed dependent on the yarn you choose to work this free crochet shrug pattern up in.
It can be made using any size 3/DK weight yarn which allows you to choose a self-striping yarn like I did or you could chose some stunning sparkly yarn to create the perfect evening coverup.
The lightweight nature of this crochet shrug means that it will be a great addition to any outfit and can easily be taken from casual daywear and dressed up for an evening outfit with some chunky accessories.
