Crochet Aurora Shrug Pattern & Tutorial

Updated: Apr 19, 2019



I'm extremely excited to share with you a pattern I designed as part of Lion Brand's 12 Weeks of Christmas this year! There are projects for quick last minute gifts and projects that take a little more time but worth the wait!

My contribution is the Crocheted Aurora Shrug. I absolutely LOVE their new ZZ Twist Yarn. It's soft, 100% acrylic and has a very nice drape with the lacy stitches I used!

This week only, all kits (12 Weeks of Xmas) are currently 20% off! Purchase the Aurora Kit here!

You can also purchase the ad-free pattern from my shops, available in a tri-fold format, perfect for on-the-go crocheting!

I had the opportunity to take this out on one of our camp trips and take photos in Bodega Bay, CA.
