Feeling hugged
The new Feeling hugged shawl
We all can use a good hug these days and what is better than a comfy shawl to hug you? Well, one that has the universal sign of two hugs knitted right into it…
This crescent shaped shawl is super comfortable and pretty big too, so it does offer lots of ways to wear.
It’s knitted from the top down with double the hugs in a lace pattern in the shape of two giant X’s, one on top of the other. A cabled border done without cable needle finishes up this beauty all around the bottom edge.
I knitted mine with a new color way called “Wine” in the Y2GO exclusive Element yarn and I can tell you, it feels and looks absolutely wonderful.
