Reno Outfit – Knitted and Crocheted Shoulder Shrug and Bag Pattern Using Adriafil Softy, Mohair Stretch, and Charme

The Reno Outfit is a free downloadable PDF pattern from Adriafil that combines knitting and crochet to create a coordinated set of garments and accessories. The pattern covers a shoulder shrug (bolero-style wrap) and references the use of multiple Adriafil yarn lines — Softy, Mohair Stretch, and Charme — to produce a richly textured, fashion-forward outfit. The design is worked as a one-size project, making it accessible to a wide range of knitters and crocheters who want a stylish, wearable result.

Shoulder Shrug

What Is Being Made

The shoulder shrug is a cosy, enveloping wrap designed to drape over the shoulders. It is constructed as a single flat piece, then folded and partially seamed to create the finished shrug shape. The combination of a deeply ribbed knitted body with a decorative crocheted lace edging gives the piece both structure and an elegant, feminine finish.

Techniques Used

• Flat knitting – the main body of the shrug is worked flat in a single rectangular piece on straight knitting needles
• Crochet edging – a decorative lace trim is applied along both the cast-on and bind-off edges using a crochet hook, following a chart included in the pattern
• Seaming – the finished piece is folded in half and the sides are sewn up using a tapestry needle to form the shrug shape
• Making up and finishing – ends are secured and the lace trim is neatly completed before assembly

Stitches Used

• K2/P2 rib stitch – the entire knitted body is worked in a two-by-two rib, creating a stretchy, textured fabric with excellent drape and recovery
• Chain stitch – used as the foundation and structural element of the crocheted lace edging
• Single crochet – used within the lace edging for tight, neat joins and transitions
• Double crochet – incorporated into the decorative lace border for height and openwork effect
• Treble crochet – the tallest stitch used in the lace trim, adding an airy, elegant quality to the edging

Materials

• Adriafil Softy – colour no. 36, 200 g required; this is the main yarn used for the knitted body of the shrug
• Adriafil Mohair Stretch – orange, colour no. 41, 100 g required; used exclusively for the crocheted lace edging, adding a soft, halo-rich contrast trim
• Knitting needles – size 7 (metric)
• Crochet hook – size 7 (metric)
• Tapestry needle – for seaming and finishing

Gauge and Sizing

The pattern is designed as one size. The stated gauge is 17 stitches and 17.5 rows to 10 x 10 cm, measured in K2/P2 rib stitch using Adriafil Softy on size 7 knitting needles. Achieving this gauge is important to ensure the shrug reaches the correct dimensions. The knitted body is cast on with 92 stitches and worked until the piece measures 52 cm, at which point all stitches are bound off.
