I thought the free shrug and shawl patterns would be a great way to add to the numerous other free printables and things I have here at Associated Content. I know over the past year or two I have seen several different retro and antique styles of clothes reappearing with the younger women. So for those who are looking for retro styles of jackets and shawls, these would be a great addition to your wardrobe.

I wasn't all to sure what a shrug was when it came to clothing. So here is what a shrug is when it comes to outer garments of clothing.
