The Camellia Shrug is an elegant and lightweight crochet pattern designed for comfort and style. Featuring delicate stitch work and a flowy, relaxed fit, this shrug is perfect for layering over casual or dressy outfits.
This lovely accessory is a rectangular shawl/wrap/shrug that has sleeve cuffs added on each end!
It’s super cozy and feels like being wrapped in a blanket! No worrying about it falling off with the sleeves on, and it can easily be styled a number of ways! It’s the perfect layering piece for the changing weather!
Pattern Inspiration
I first created the Camellia Sweater pattern a few years ago, and have since made another one. I remembered how much I loved this easy stitch combo, and since have been making everything with it! There is now a hat, cowl, and blanket in this collection! There is even a crochet washcloth with a tutorial for the stitch!
When I was thinking about transitional pieces to wear as the weather gets cooler, this stitch combo came to mind first thing! And I just love the crochet shrug with sleeves style, so I decided to create the Camellia Shrug!

Crochet Shrug Details
The shardi is worked in rows to create a rectangle first, and then the rectangle is folded in half and the sleeves are worked in the round along each end of the rectangle.
You can easily make this more of a shrug style, by sewing the rectangle ends together at the sleeve cuff.
The Yarn
This crochet shrug with sleeves is made with DK (#3) weight yarn. I used Paintbox Simply DK, in the colorway Vanilla Cream, for mine. Simply DK is one of my favorite 100% acrylic DK yarns. It’s super affordable and comes in a huge variety of colors! It can be machine washed and dried, and is very soft!
This pattern is rated Easy in pattern difficulty. It comes with instructions for 3 sizes – small, medium, and large. These three sizes will fit a bust range of 28″ – 64″.

Pattern Notes:
Pattern is in US terms.
The shrug is worked in rows to create a rectangle and then folded and worked in round along the side edges to create the sleeves.
Starting chain does not count as first stitch, unless stated otherwise within the pattern.
Pattern is worked in smallest size, with additional sizes in parentheses as follows: S (M, L). Final stitch count for all sizes will be in parentheses at the end of each row/round.
To create more of a sleeve, sew the ends of the rectangle together up the arms.
