Need a last minute gift for Mother’s day?

This shrug is a fun, easy and quick project. you can definitely finish it by Sunday. Grab your yarn and let’s get started.

Happy hooking!

Follow the stitch pattern below and make a rectangle. Mine is a size S/M 42 inches long and 18 inches wide. If you need a bigger size increase your fondation chains to increase the length of the rectangle. If you need a longer shrug work more rows.

then fold the rectangle and sew the corner edges together to make the arm openings

Here is the stitch pattern used

for my crochet top I repeated the 6 rows 5 more times.
