The Auro Bolero Shrug is a beginner-friendly project, perfect for adding a touch of warmth on spring or summer evenings. Its versatile design, as you can see from the pictures, makes it a must-have layering piece. You’ll begin by crocheting rows from the top down, increasing stitches as indicated to shape the shoulders and sleeves. After a few rows, the pattern will guide you on how to divide the work into the sleeves and the main body. You will then continue working in rows until you reach your desired length. Once the body of the shrug is complete, you’ll add a simple border.

You can use any yarn you like as long as you will reach the gauge indicated in the pattern.

Here’s what you’ll love:
