Chocolate Shrug

(Crochet)

I recently made this shrug for a dear friend…
Recientemente hice este chaleco (conocido como shrug en inglés)…









What is a shrug? I define it as a rounded vest that covers the shoulders and back.  I got inspired by the pattern @ All About Ami: Easy Chunky Crochet Sweater…but changed it a little bit.  First, I made the body of the shrug by combining a light angora in beige with a soft variegated yarn.  This color reminded me of chocolate.  I made the body smaller, because I wanted to add a ribbed border later (all beige in worsted yarn). And I am so glad my friend likes it!

Shrug es básicamente un chaleco redondeado que cubre la espalda y los hombros.  Me inspiré en el patrón de All About Ami: Easy Chunky Crochet Sweater…pero le hice unas variaciones.  Combiné dos lanas (Angora y Cisne Nuance), pero hice el cuerpo un poco más pequeño.  Luego le hice un borde ancho con lana mediana en color beige.  Le quedó perfecto a mi amiga, y me alegra que le haya gustado.
