Our Shrug Hugs
A Shrug Hug is simply a 20" x 60" knit or crocheted panel
Our Shrug Hugs are 20" x 60" knitted, crocheted or tunisian crocheted panels. After receiving, we lace the panel closed to form a Shrug Hug. Shrug Hugs wear like a small poncho but thanks to the weight of the bulky yarns used when making, feel like a hug around your shoulders.
There are so many wonderful yarns out there. Don’t be afraid to experiment. But keep in mind that each yarn, stitch pattern, needle choice and your own tension affect the outcome of your finished fabric and fit. PLEASE NOTE, PANELS CAN BE NO SMALLER THAN 20" X 60" TO WEAR PROPERLY. If you have yarn to spare, anywhere up to 24" works great!
Our intention is to wrap the moms we are supporting in a great big hug.
Please consider bulky yarns or double stranding to create a cozy fabric. Lace weight shawls will not work. Lion Brand Homespun, Wool Ease Thick and Quick, Scarfie and Shawl in a Ball combine nicely as do Loops and Threads Barcelona, Facet Stones and Red Heart Dreamy and Unforgettable.
