Shrug Technical Drawing
Simple kimono-sleeved shrug cloned from an original 1950s garment.
*Note that the sleeve-length grading turned out a bit excessive (this was my first try at grading). So the “S” size sleeves are just below the elbow, while the “L” are almost full length. Feel free to choose sleeve length independently of size 
.*
This pattern is VERY forgiving of fit, since there’s no shoulder seam and it doesn’t entirely cover the bust, so I made quite a large gap between the sizes. I’d venture to suggest the following size-range:
- Small: bust 30-33″; 76-84 cm
- Medium: bust 34-37″; 87-94 cm
- Large for busts 38-41″; 97-105 cm
Finished projects:
Three versions (Original, Medium, and Small)
Thank you! A thousand times thank you…thought I was totally mad couldn’t find a pattern that is me….Have it now!
Im so pleased with the result of the shrug I made using your pattern. I did something a little different and used leather as the material and a black lace trim around the outside. It looked really fab when I wore it to my friends wedding recently. It is such a simple basic pattern, that even a novice like me did not have any problems. Thank you xx
