Meadow Lace Shrug
"Simple lightweight crochet shrug made from one rectangle with zero shaping, increasing and decreasing. This casual and stylish summer cardigan is perfect complement to wear in many occassions. The floral pattern keeps the crocheting interesting and the ribbing gives the shrug a knit-look. If you don’t like off-the-shoulder dresses or tops it will be definitely one of your favorite item to wear in summer. It can be easily matched with casual or formal dress, shirts or t-shirts underneath. It works up really quickly!"
