Cozy Hobart Shrug Free Crochet Pattern
/I am so thrilled to bring you the Cozy Hobart Shrug Free Crochet Pattern just in time for fall and snuggle season! This shrug has all the cozy texture you could want and works up like a charm!
The Hobart Shrug Free Crochet Pattern features a great textured stitch pattern that really opens up after blocking. It is an easy repeat so perfect for watching your favorite binge shows while you stitch away.
I chose to use a worsted weight yarn for the Hobart Shrug Free Crochet Pattern because it gives you the coziness for cooler days but is not too heavy like bulky yarns. The stitch patterns opens when you wet block this pattern and drapes really well with worsted.
This design will be like a blanket you can wear in public and look stylish while staying cozy!

Fold your work in half, marrying the beginning fsc & last sc rows – this will be inside out now
From the folded side:
Measure 7.5 (8.5, 9.5, 10)”

(This will be your arm hole)
Begin working from where the folded corners of the fsc & sc rows meet and work sl st OR single crochet to marry the sides. Work up to your pin / marker for the armhole.
