Crochet a Stylish Shrug for Any Season – Amaya Crochet Shrug Pattern
Welcome to the world of crochet shrugs, where style meets comfort! Whether you’re dressing up for a special occasion or just adding a layer for a chilly evening, a crochet shrug sweater is the perfect addition to any outfit. Today, we’ll explore everything from choosing the right yarn to perfecting the fit of your shrug, featuring our beloved Amaya Crochet Shrug pattern by Marly Bird and Robyn Chachula.
What is a Crochet Shrug Sweater?
A crochet shrug sweater is a versatile piece of clothing that combines the warmth of a sweater with the ease of a bolero or cardigan. Perfect for any season, these shrugs can be styled for a formal event or worn casually, making them a must-have in every crocheter’s wardrobe.
Choosing the Right Yarn for Your Shrug
The key to a successful crochet shrug is selecting the right yarn. For the Amaya Shrug, we recommend a blend like WeCrochet Heatherly Worsted, which offers durability and softness. When choosing yarn, consider the weight—lighter weights for spring and summer, heavier for fall and winter—to ensure your shrug is comfortable and suitable for its intended use.
Here are some alternative yarns that we think work great with this pattern
How to Choose the Perfect Size for Your Crochet Shrug
Choosing the right fit for your Amaya Crochet Shrug is wonderfully flexible, thanks to its unique construction. This design starts off as a shawl and is transformed into a shrug with the addition of side panels. This method allows you to decide on the final fit—whether you prefer a snug fit with a stylish closure like our model Taylor demonstrates, or a more relaxed, draped look as worn by Robyn. The sizes provided—S/M, L/XL, 2/3X, 4X—follow the standard guidelines set by the Craft Yarn Council, ensuring that they cater to a wide range of body types.
The construction of the Amaya Shrug isn’t typical; it doesn’t start with traditional measurements of bust and arms that you might expect. Instead, it evolves through the crafting process, which allows for adjustments tailored to your preference. You can enhance the fit by adding extra rounds of third loop half double crochet to the edging, giving it a more defined structure. This versatility ensures that the shrug not only fits well but also flatters, offering multiple sizing options that let you customize it to your personal style and comfort.
Video Tutorial for the Amaya Crochet Shrug
The Amaya Crochet Shrug, inspired by the intricate stitch pattern of the Miranda Crochet Cowl, expands on the design to create a more substantial garment. Both patterns feature the same detailed crochet stitch patterns, bringing continuity and a touch of elegance to your crochet projects.
To help you master these designs, video tutorials are provided, offering step-by-step guidance. These instructional videos are conveniently linked within the pattern itself, ensuring you have support at every stage of your crochet journey.
But if you are looking for videos specific to this pattern, I am sorry to say we do not have those. But we do have a facebook group that can offer a lot of extra help as needed.

NOTES FOR AMAYA CROCHET SHRUG
- Directions are for size S/ M; changes for sizes L/XL, 2/3X, and 4X are in parentheses. When only one number is given then that number applies to all sizes.
- Project is best described as a shawl with side panels. You can style it with a clip in the front and it can be worn as a shrug (as shown on the mannequin). You can also style it open and it is worn more like an accessory (as shown on Robyn).
- Use stitch markers to mark the first stitch and center stitch to keep track of each row.
- You can replace a stacked double crochet with 3 chains if you rather not use a stacked double crochet to start your row.

CHECK GAUGE:
Lay project out as if to block it. Check to see that your gauge is 9.25” [23.5 cm] wide by 4.5” [11.5 cm] tall. Remember crochet lace likes to grow, so this is a blocked measurement. Even though we are not blocking right now. You will want to stretch your project as if you were going to block, then measure. Since this is a wearable, you will want your gauge to be as close to right on as possible. More than 0.5” [1.3 cm] different (longer or shorter) from the gauge now will change the size of your final project dramatically. In addition, if you are larger than the gauge listed you will need more yarn.
Row 7: Ch 3, ([dc, ch 1] twice, dc) in first st, *ch 1, sc in next ch-1 sp, ch 1, ([dc, ch 1] 3 times, dc] in next ch-1 sp; repeat from * across to last ch-1 sp before marked st, ch 1, sc in next ch-1 sp, ch 1, ([dc, ch 1] 5 times, dc) in next dc, place marker in center ch-1 sp of shell just made, **ch 1, sc in next ch-1 sp, ch 1, ([dc, ch 1] 3 times, dc] in next ch-1 sp; repeat from ** across to last ch-1 sp, ch 1, sc in last ch-1 sp, ch 1, ([dc, ch 1] twice, 2 dc) in last st, turn- 4 shells + 2 half shells + 1 center shell.
Repeat Rows 6-7 0 (1, 2, 3) more times- 4 (6, 8, 10) shells + 2 half shells + 1 center shell.

FINISHING
BLOCKING
Pin back and side panels to schematic size. Spray with water and allow to dry. You can also use the steam method or cold bath method to block this project if desired.
SEAMING
Lay back panel and side panel next to each other with right sides facing up as shown in the schematic. Back and side panels will be seamed together using a slip stitch that goes through the third loop of a stitch on the back panel and the third loop of the corresponding stitch on the side panel. Skip marked center stitch on the back panel. Join color B (B, C, C) with a sl st in the next st on the back panel and first stitch on the side panel working in their 3rd loops. Holding working yarn to the wrong side of the fabric, continuing slip stitching (inserting hook from the front to the back of your work) each stitch together in their third loop across the side panel. Repeat on the opposite side of the back panel and second side panel.
Turn work wrong side up. Fold back panel so beginning and end of the row meet the center. Fold side panel so that the beginning of the row meets the end of the row. Now the project looks like the layout and panels are right side up. Seam panels together using the same method as before.
EDGING
Place 6 markers at “*” as shown on layout. These will mark where you will place increases throughout the edging. There are 2 located at the back neck and 2 located on each side of the side and back panel join in the front the project.
Round 1: Join color A (A, B, B) to center of back neck (this is the center of the first row of the back panel), ch 1, *hdc evenly across to marker, 2 hdc at marker, place marker in 2nd hdc just made, hdc evenly across to next marker, 2 hdc at marker, place marker in 1st hdc just made; repeat from * around, hdc evenly across to beginning of round. Join to first st, change color to D (D, A, A).
Round 2: Ch 1, skip first st, *hdc in third loop of each hdc to marker, 2 hdc in third loop of marked st, place marker in 2nd hdc just made, hdc in third loop of each hdc to next marker, 2 hdc in third loop of marked st, place marker in 1st hdc just made; repeat from * around, hdc in third loop of each hdc to last 2 hdc, hdc2tog in third loop of last 2 hdc. Join to first st, change color to A (A, B, B).
Round 3: Repeat Round 2 change color to B (B, C, C) at end of round.
Round 4: Repeat Round 2 change color to D (D, A, A) at end of round.
Round 5: Repeat Round 2 change color to A (A, B, B) at end of round.
Round 6: Repeat Round 2 change color to D (D, A, A) at end of round.
Round 7: Ch 1, sc in third loop of each hdc around. Join to first st.
Fasten off, weave in ends.
