A simple and stylish, long shrug that’s

A simple granny square becomes a cosy, oversized shrug with wide lapels, worked up in bulky Álafoss Lopi with a big hook for softness and drape.

A stylish open-front cardigan, Hexa’s simple construction and customizable design make it great for both advanced beginners ready to try their first garment and experienced crocheters alike. Single-strand, unspun Icelandic Plötulopi makes it soft, light and warm.

This versatile crocheted cardigan/shrug can be worn as a short-sleeved open cardigan or turned upside down and worn as a cropped-front collared shrug.

This simple v-stitch triangle shawl uses bold colour blocking and fringe to imitate the effect of being dipped in ink.

This simple, one-skein cowl is worked in the round in griddle stitch with front post double crochet ribbing. A large hook size allows for a soft drape.

This cute colour-blocked pompom beanie is worked top-down in two colours of Ístex Álafoss Lopi. It’s a quick and simple project, suitable for beginners, and makes a great last-minute gift.
