I'm looking for a crochet pattern for a shrug.

And by that I mean, a long tube that is open in the middle. When you put it on, it looks like just sleeves in the front.

I'm thinking the tube has to be wider in the middle to give it a nice drape in the back. And, it would probably need to be done in sports weight stuff?

I got one of these for Christmas and I love it! But, can't find it anywhere so I want to make one. They're comfortable, light and just right for when a sweater is too warm and no sweater is chilly.

1. Something like this?

Found this link with lots of links to patterns:

And particularly this one from the above main link:

2. Yes! Although the garment I have is simpler (no folding over collar)

It really is just a tube that is fatter in the middle and also open there. Thanks, Whoa_Nelly!

edit: My camera is down. When I figure out why, I'll post a picture. It's a really neat little idea.
