Hi there!

Matcha tea is bold and elegant, bitter and tasty, ancient and modern at the same time :) This shrug will keep you warm and cozy, and it will give a special touch to any outfit!

It’s a one-size piece crocheted from one sleeve to the other. No sewing needed! The pattern can also be adjusted to your arms and body length with little effort.

This is not a beginners’ pattern, but I’ve tried to add as much detail as possible and step-by-step pictures for every row. You have both a text description as well as row-by-row graphs wherever they are required.

Yarn & Hook size: For the step-by-step pictures I used Hobbii Portobello with a 5mm hook, but you can use whatever yarn & hook size you like, as long as they match and the gauge is correct
