This southwestern-inspired shrug uses very simple stitches to achieve a unique end result. While this design resembles the look of tapestry crochet, it’s actually made by switching colors mid-row using basic crochet techniques. The result is quite a showstopper and looks far from DIY-ed.

Paired with jeans, leggings or cutoffs, this’ll become your favorite comfy statement piece. If you’re looking for a mindless project with a bit of magic tossed in the middle, this crochet shrug pattern is for you!

This ad-free, printable PDF includes the Navajo graph as well as line-by-line written instructions of how many stitches to work in each color per row. Pattern is written in sizes S/M, L/XL, XL/2XL.

The video tutorial will walk you through tips for how to switch colors without cutting your yarn so that you have fewer ends to weave in. Win!
