MatchaTea Shrug

Hi there! Matcha tea is bold and elegant, bitter and tasty, ancient and modern at the same time :) This shrug will keep you warm and cozy, and it will give a special touch to any outfit! It’s a one-size piece crocheted from one sleeve to the other. No sewing needed! The pattern can also be adjusted to your arms and body length with little effort. This is not a beginners’ pattern, but I’ve tried to add as much detail as possible and step-by-step pictures for every row. You have both a text description as well as row-by-row graphs wherever they are required. Yarn & Hook size: For the step-by-step pictures I used Hobbii Portobello with a 5mm hook, but you can use whatever yarn & hook size you like, as long as they match and the gauge is correct Gauge: 15 dc in 10 cm Difficulty: intermediate Terminology: US terms Materials required: • 12 skeins of Hobbii Portobello (I used 6 colors) • 5 mm crochet hook • Tapestry needle to sew ends • Scissors Stitches used in this pattern: • Slip stitch (sl st) • Chain (ch) • Single crochet (sc) • Double crochet (dc) • Front post double crochet (fpdc) • Back post double crochet (bpdc) • Double crochet three together (dc2tog) (see below) • Back post double crochet two together (bpdc2tog) (see below) • Back post double crochet three together (bpdc3tog) (see below) Other abbreviations: • Ch-sp: chain space • Sk st: skip stitch
