Crochet Lazy Shell Sweater Shrug

I hooked up this Crochet Lazy Shell Sweater Shrug quite a few months ago and totally procrastinated on finishing it all because I had to sew some seams together, seams that literally took me about 5 mins to do!

I used 3 balls of Ice Yarns Angora Supreme Colour which worked out to be lovely with this stitch and offers a really nice drape to the shrug. A nice alternative would be Joy Angora Glitz or maybe you have something else in mind? I’d love to see what yarns you use.

When working the last 2 rows of single crochet they work up a little wavy which offers a really pretty look around the neck. I was going to add a collar until I realized how pretty it looked on its own.

This pattern includes a chart pattern.
