Lacombe Park Shrug by Leah Parker
What is Being Made
The Lacombe Park Shrug is a crocheted shrug garment designed by Leah Parker of Leah & Stitch. This piece is a versatile layering garment that drapes across the shoulders and back, available in five size options ranging from S/M to 4XL/5XL to accommodate a wide range of body types. The shrug measures approximately 36 to 48 inches in width across the back and 36 to 44 inches in length from neck to hem, depending on the selected size.
Crochet Techniques and Construction
This beginner-friendly crochet project employs fundamental crochet techniques suitable for crafters new to the craft. The construction utilizes basic stitch work and shaping methods to create a wearable garment that requires careful attention to gauge and stitch count to ensure proper fit and drape.
Stitches Used
The Lacombe Park Shrug pattern incorporates several essential crochet stitches:
- Chain stitch (ch) – the foundation stitch used to begin the pattern
- Single crochet (sc) – a short, tight stitch for shaping and finishing
- Half double crochet (hdc) – a medium-height stitch providing structure
- Double crochet (dc) – a taller stitch used extensively throughout the garment for creating the main fabric and open spaces
- Slip stitch (sl st) – used for joining rounds and connecting sections seamlessly
Yarn and Materials
The Lacombe Park Shrug is designed to be worked with weight 4 (aran) yarn, a medium-weight yarn that provides excellent drape and structure for shrug construction. The pattern specifies Lion Brand Heartland Yarn as the recommended fiber, with yardage requirements varying by size: 750 yards for S/M, 875 yards for L/XL, 1000 yards for 2XL/3XL, and 1150 yards for 4XL/5XL. Crafters may substitute their favorite weight 4 yarn if preferred.
Tools and Gauge Information
The pattern requires an L/11 8.0 mm crochet hook, or the size necessary to achieve the specified gauge. Achieving proper gauge is essential for this project: the pattern calls for 7 double crochet stitches in spaces by 6 rows measuring approximately 4 inches (10 centimeters). Additional tools needed include a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, scissors, and a measuring tape for checking dimensions throughout construction.
Pattern Format
The Lacombe Park Shrug is provided as a downloadable PDF pattern created by independent designer Leah Parker. The pattern includes detailed abbreviations, stitch counts indicated in brackets, and comprehensive sizing information to guide crafters through completion of this beginner-level crochet project.
