There’s a little present embraced by the “hugs and kisses” cables in this season-spanning shawl: a textured heart. Cables tend to look puckered while you’re making them, but don’t worry: a good blocking relaxes them into place.

Sample used 4 skeins in “Spring Leaf” colorway.

Larger hook is Tunisian hook with flexible plastic extension; smaller hook is regular crochet hook. You will also need a cable needle or similar holder.
