Crochet Relief Wave Shrug Prototype

Over the last year, I’ve seen this crochet stitch all over social media being used for bralettes, tops, skirts, dresses, etc. After doing some digging, I discovered it’s called a relief wave stitch and found some lovely tutorials (both written and a YouTube video) from Crochet by Ellej. I like to wear a little shrug/sweater over my dresses, but have been having trouble finding any so I decided to try crocheting a shrug using this stitch. It took me almost two months and over 5 frogging sessions, but the initial prototype is complete!

I’m working on a few other crochet projects at the moment, but I’m planning to circle back on a 2nd prototype to help me write up the pattern and potentially film a tutorial for YouTube. More to come!
