CROCHET SHRUG PATTERNS

Shrugs are known for saving many crocheters from that freezing cold, air-conditioned office during the summer, but they’re great for plenty of other chilly situations. Instead of reaching for a scarf on those mild days, grab a crocheted shrug instead. They can even be a substitute for your favorite shawl!
