Shrug Or Cap Sleeve Cardigan, This Is My Next Project For Me!

May 9, 2012 by jd wolfe

I like so many of the designs at Wolf Crochet.  It’s fortunate for us when a designer of this quality offers her patterns to us for free!  This shrug (which I would call a cap sleeve afghan) is one of the latest designs on the Wolf Crochet blog.  You can get the pattern for this Palm Beach Shrug here.  It can be made with or without the shawl collar.  For me, it will be without.  Or, for winter, maybe with.

My dilemma right now is to determine just the right yarn to use for the shrug.  I want to use something already in my stash  – and that gives me lots of choices, I can tell you!  White would not work very well in my wardrobe, although it’s certainly a practical choice.  I’m leaning toward a pink or a gray.  What do you think?

    I would really like to make this a pullover sweater, how could I convert that?

    If you omit the add-on shawl collar, you should be able to simply seam up the front to create a pullover. You might want to contact the designer through her blog and ask for her advice. She’s very helpful. Let us know how your top turns out, please!

    Are the two hook sizes K, L or M? It looks like a type but I don’t know which two to use.

    Thanks.

    Gail,
    From reviewing the pattern on Ravelry and Carol’s original PDF, I see the source of your confusion. I have not made the shrug yet, unfortunately. I suggest you contact the designer, Carol Wolf, through her blog. She’s very helpful and accommodating.

    I made the shrug using my best guess. It turned out to be a shapeless mess. I will contact Carol Wolf and suggest she give the pattern, as is, to someone else and have them make the garment. That way the bugs can be worked out before the pattern is passed on the the public.

    Hello,
    I would really love the pattern for this “shrug” – does anyone have the original pattern, even “with flaws”, that they would share? I have looked online extensively to no avail…
    Thank you!!

Sunseeker Pullover – Crochet Pattern

If you’ve been searching for the perfect crochet top to take you from sunny afternoons to warm summer evenings, the Sunburst Tank from Knit Picks is a winner. This breezy tank is simple, stylish, and has just the right amount of detail to make it special.

The design features a clean, classic tank silhouette with a slightly relaxed fit, making it flattering on many body types. The crochet stitches add texture and visual interest, while the lightweight construction keeps it comfortable and breathable. It’s one of those pieces that looks just as good with denim cutoffs as it does tucked into a flowy skirt.

What makes this pattern shine is its versatility. Work it up in soft neutrals for a timeless wardrobe piece, or experiment with bright cottons and summer blends for a fun, beachy vibe. You can even layer it under cardigans or dusters when the weather cools down, giving it year-round appeal.

Skill level is adventurous beginner to intermediate. The pattern is approachable with repetitive stitch work, yet interesting enough to keep you engaged as you crochet.

If your summer wardrobe needs a handmade touch that’s wearable, chic, and endlessly customizable, the Sunburst Tank is a must-make.

Find the pattern here: Sunburst Tank – Crochet Pattern from Knit Picks
