Caron Shoulder Shrug

I saw this Shrug today.
What a pretty design! I love the color and wonder how it will look on a ‘full figured’ woman. I think I might try to adapt it by using a lighter weight yarn – not so bulky looking. Why is it that I am always drawn to the garments made with bulky yarn? My body is bulky enough, thank you!

Maybe someone can direct me to a ‘look alike’ that is made in lighter weight yarn so I don’t have to do the trial and error thing……

  2. I just finished the same shoulder shrug. It is beautiful. I chose Vanna’s Choice acrylic in Onyx, it has a jeweled effect. You will have to increase the pattern because the wool is so light weight. #2.

Bubbles the Turtle Lovey Crochet Pattern

I recently had the pleasure of working on the Bubbles the Turtle Lovey Crochet Pattern, and I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed. This sweet and cuddly turtle is the perfect companion for any little one. His playful and energetic personality is sure to bring a smile to any child’s face, and his soft and snuggly body is perfect for cuddling and napping.

One of the things that I particularly loved about this pattern is that it is budget-friendly. You can use up your yarn scraps to create an adorable snuggle blanket that is both unique and special. The pattern calls for either DK-weight or worsted weight yarn and US sizes E/3.5 mm and G/4.25 mm crochet hooks, so you have plenty of options when it comes to choosing your materials. The finished size is 14 1/2″ x 9 1/2″ (DK-weight) or 15 3/4″ x 10 1/2″ (worsted), making it the perfect size for a little one to hold and cuddle.

But what exactly is a lovey, you might ask? A lovey is a small blanket or stuffed animal that a child becomes attached to and uses for comfort and security. They are often used as a transitional object to help a child feel safe and secure when away from their primary caregivers. Loveys can be an especially helpful tool for children who are anxious or going through a major life change, such as starting daycare or moving to a new home.

In short, I highly recommend the Bubbles the Turtle Lovey Crochet Pattern. It’s a fun and budget-friendly project that is sure to bring joy and comfort to any little one. Whether you’re a seasoned crocheter or just starting out.
