Over the Top Shoulder Hug Pattern

Introducing the epitome of versatile elegance, our top-down raglan V-neck shrug is a timeless design with two distinct sleeve options, catering to your style preferences. The first option features gracefully cascading bell sleeves, adding a touch of whimsy to your ensemble. Alternatively, opt for the second sleeve style, a classic, straight, cuffed option that works in any wardrobe. This shrug’s top-down construction ensures a seamless and personalized fit, while the V-neck adds a flattering neckline. Whether the bell sleeve resonates with you or the timeless appeal of the straight cuff, this shrug provides the perfect canvas for expressing your individuality. What makes this design truly over the top is that you can use a variety of yarns to achieve your own unique look! Modeled photos show this pattern knit in Waterfall, Dreamland, and a combination of yarns. These kits include mixed yarn for maximum fun!
