Gabby's Knit Shrug

A movie-ready outfit for the next big film we will enjoy in theaters! This bolero style shrug is knit from bulky weight chenille so it knits up quickly. Heart elbow patches and faux drawstrings with pom-poms give this shrug an authentic feel for your own main character. Pattern includes written directions, photos, and video tutorial links. **Pattern updated November 2025 to reformat layout of pattern for easier reading.** **Sizing:** Recommended to fit with 2-3”/5-8cm positive ease.
