Tunisian Crochet Shrug
The Tunisian Crochet Shrug was designed with a Tunisian Crochet Beginner in mind. I used only basic Tunisian Crochet Stitches, such as the Tunisian Simple Stitch and the Tunisian Full Stitch to really make this shrug easy to crochet.
This pattern uses worsted-weight acrylic yarn, but you could easily substitute it for cotton yarn. If you’re looking to make a warmer shrug, I would suggest using acrylic, but if you’d like something a little more lightweight, but will still keep you nice and warm.
With this free crochet shrug pattern, you can enjoy the process of making something beautiful and functional, all while enhancing your crochet skills and exploring new techniques. Making this lovely shrug is a rewarding way to turn your yarn stash into a cozy, wearable piece that you’ll reach for time and again.
It’s time to get creative, so let’s get started! Happy crocheting!
