The Gradient Glitter Shrug Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

 The Gradient Glitter Shrug

 Crochet Pattern

 By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

The Gradient Glitter Shrug is The perfect addition to 

any outfit when you want to add some glamor and sparkle,

 any time of year. Wear it with a Casual look or evening

 clothes. It will add a special glitter and warmth, 

morning, noon or night.

A Shrug is  short, cropped garment, similar to a

 very short cardigan. They Have also been called a Cocoon

 Sweater or Cardigan. It is designed to cover the 

shoulders and upper arms. It typically has short or long

 sleeves and is often made from knitted or crocheted

 materials, though other fabrics like lace or chiffon 

are also used. 

Shrugs are a versatile layering piece, 

worn over dresses, tops, or tank tops to add warmth

 or a stylish element without full coverage.

Basically Any rectangle can be a shrug,

 you decide the length and width.

I designed the Shrug using Premier 

Gradient Glitter Anti Pilling Everyday Worsted yarn. 

It is a new yarn that is long Ombre with a silver 

thread running through it. 

These Are The Four colors I used:

C1 -Fawn Tones – 7 oz.
               C2 – Royal Blue Tones – 3.5 oz.
               C3 – Fern Green Tones – 3.5 oz.
               C4 - Sangria Tones – 3.5 oz.

This Shrug Is Designed to work for any size need.

You can use the measurements to adjust The Pattern.

If You want it wider add more repeat rows, 

if you want it longer add more beginning chains. 

Keep your tape measure near and measure as you work. 

The crochet pattern is basically a rectangle and 

easy to adjust as needed.

Today's Topic - Is There A Difference Between

 "Ombre and Gradient" Yarn?

Which pictures of me is Ombre and
 which picture is Gradient?

A lot of  Designers and Yarn Manufacturers,
as well as, nail polish, hair dyes and garments, use these terms interchangeably. 

 They are similar, but there is a difference.

Ombre: 
A French term that refers to colors or tones, usually 
going lightest to darkest, in the same tone or colors.

Gradient: 
A gradual movement from one color to another, 
starting at the lightest shade and going to the darkest,
but not necessarily in the same tone or color.

Both Ombre and Gradient is where one color gradually blends into another color, But Ombre is in the same color family, and gradient is any colors like a red into a blue.
