Paton’s Wilderness has been disappearing from yarn shop shelves ever since Kirsty showed us her wonderful granny shrugs.
The inimitable Kirsty is providing a fantastic visual how-to for the granny shrug on her blog today, with both video instructions and step-by-step photographs. Anyone who prefers a traditional line-by-line written crochet pattern can find a pdf here. I’ll have daylight photos of my shrug for you tomorrow. Happy crocheting!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I knew it had to be this easy! I’ll be making shrugs!
Thank you very much for sharing this Lara – its printing as a I type. I am armed with my hook and yarn and can’t wait to make a start!
Thanks Lara, Ive already made a start but im sure this will still help me!
Thank you Lara and Kirsty. This is definitely a project I’m going to launch into very soon.
Thanks for putting it in a pdf Lara! Both of you are totally awesome! Love the pattern and can’t wait to make one too. Just need to get yarn and a gigantic hook.
Lara – love it – thanks for the link to the tutorial
Great how-to Lara!
Ah, you’re both good eggs! My hearty thanks for the sharing of the wisdom.
Thanks Lara (& Kirsty). This pattern makes it easier and I’m very grateful to you both. It’s a great look.

Thank You ,Thank You ,Thank You
thank-you so much for the shrug pattern! I’ll be making one for myself and one for my mum! Gorgeous. Thanks.
Thanks for the pattern. I LOVE the look of this sweater and hope I can work it in as a project for myself before Fall.
Is the pattern UK instructions?
Yes, the pattern is in Australian/UK terms. The pdf includes this information, as does Kirsty’s blog post/tutorial.
In Rnds 3, 4 ad 5 where it says … 3 ch (for tr), turn. 2 tr into “2-ch sp” … should this say … 2 tr into “1-ch sp”
also, in Rnd 5, there seems to be something missing before … 3tr into 2-ch sp, 2 ch, 3 tr into same 2-ch sp – in a couple of places …
Or is it me, reading the pattern wrong!
carnt wait to give this pattern a go i dont follow patterns as a rule but granny squares i can do woop woop here goes :]
Thank you so much for sharing the PDF and the Visual Im sure I can make this now! Thanks Thanks Thanks!
Very beautiful!
Thanks for sharing it! >:D<
I love this shrug!! Having a problem understanding the 5th step did’nt come out like tnis one. Can you explain? Also can’t locate the video.
Thanks
Hi Patricia! The video is in Kirsty’s post, linked to above. I just checked it and it works fine. And I’m sorry, but I can’t explain the 5th round any further than I have! Without knowing what it is you don’t understand, I cannot explain! My apologies. Maybe have a look at Kirsty’s video tutorial. Good luck!
I love the look of this & can’t wait to make it! What size is the pattern for? I’m fairly new to crochet & was wondering if it could be done in a plus size… 2x maybe?
Can you send instructions for a 3X size? It is really cute and I would love to make, but I am not experienced in sizing a pattern
Hello Shirley. You can make the granny shrug larger just by working more rows, around and around, until it’s large enough. Fold it in half and try each half on as you go to get an idea of when it will be large enough. I don’t have any more specific instructions than that. Good luck!
This is gorgeous!! I’ve just lost 70+ lbs and need to re-make a lot of clothes. This will be such a lovely addition!!
can someone help me? I have tried and tried and I cannot figure out where to add the stitches for rounds after 5. Can you post the exact pattern for rounds 6-8 at least?
how can i crochet this shrug in a ww yarn or caron simply soft or lighter weight yarn and make the fit correct ?
Hi Dianna – the great thing with this pattern is that you just keep going and fold it in half as you go and check the fit as you go. It’s a bit of trial and error. Just experiment and see how it works out!
Thanks for the pattern, you can see my little version here: http://ravel.me/miliezebomb/mc
Have a great day!
