Let me be honest with you. I made this shrug because I was tired of patterns that assumed your body was a medium. This one doesn’t do that.
The Driftwood Breeze Shrug starts with one measurement, shoulder to shoulder, and everything else builds from there. That means no picking a size off a chart and hoping for the best. You measure yourself, you work the pattern, and what comes off your hook actually fits you.
And before you talk yourself out of it, if you can chain and double crochet, you can make this. That is genuinely all you need to know going in.
What you’re getting:
A full written pattern for an open mesh crop shrug with long flowy bell sleeves. The kind of piece you throw over a fitted tank and suddenly your whole outfit has a moment. Beach, festival, dinner out, Tuesday at home because you made it and you love it. It works for all of those.
