Read MoreAH the joys of transitional weather are in the air. Layering season is officially here and so I could not help but to bring out the Shrug game. The Juno 'Lite' Crochet Shrug Free Crochet Pattern is a perfect layer as the weather varies in a single day.
One of my most popular patterns ever was my Juno Shrug that launched this little adventure so many years ago. So I thought it was time for a new lighter version for the Spring & Fall transitional weather I love so much. I teamed up with the fine folks at We Crochet to bring you this new updated Juno 'Lite' Crochet Shrug Free Crochet Pattern.
You can find the original Juno Shrug Free Crochet Pattern here and see why everyone loves the Juno so much.
The Juno 'Lite' Crochet Shrug Free Crochet Pattern brings you the same cozy comfort as the original Juno Shrug but in a lighter weight. The yarn I chose is the We Crochet Mighty Stitch.
The We Crochet Mighty Stitch. is a great bulky yarn because it is cozy but not overly dense in how it is spun. This allows for a great amount of breathability as you stitch along and is why it is a perfect fit for the Juno 'Lite' Crochet Shrug Free Crochet Pattern.
So grab some yarn and let’s get stitching!

If you have trouble meeting gauge - you will need to add or remove stitches for your initial row to meet required width
You can then add rows to meet required length if needed.
The stitch counts given in the pattern are based on the listed gauge, but it is very easy to substitute other weights of yarn. For the foundation row, simply work to the listed measurement, adding stitches as needed to meet this width.
