Designer Susan Walsh is well-known for finding interesting ways to combine crochet fabric and lace techniques to create modern garments and accessories. Cleverly constructed from a central rectangle that's worked in a four-row repeat, the stitches are perfect for those with a little more crochet experience. The Daisy Chain Shrug requires no shaping and showcases offset flower and bow motifs along the bodice, elegantly framed by decorative cuffs and edging. It’s featured here in Decadent Plum (250), one of the 17 rich shades in the Scheepjes Bamboo Soft collection.
