During these last years of the pandemic that have been so difficult and we felt so isolated from our families and friends, the thing I missed the most were the hugs! These tight hugs where we show all our love and tenderness to the people we love. I felt the need to create a beautiful encouraging shawl that represents all these hugs that are about to come and make us so happy again! A shawl that makes us feel JOY! A shawl where we can feel ā€˜Wrapped in a Hugā€™ when it wraps us!

Wrapped in a Hug is an asymmetric, one-size shawl that is divided into two parts.

The first part is an easy 2×2 ribbing in the main colour. A beautiful contrast coloured yarn wraps around 6 ribbing stitches and creates smocked ribbing wraps, alternating all around the shawl. The second part, the border, is based on the Chevron Stitch. Three layers of Garter Chevron Stitch give a nice texture to the shawl. A bit before the bind-off, a row of pink bobbles makes the final edge more romantic and elegant.

Durante estos Ćŗltimos aƱos de pandemia que han sido tan difĆ­ciles y nos sentĆ­amos tan lejos de nuestras familias y amigos, Ā”lo que mĆ”s echĆ© de menos fueron los abrazos! Esos abrazos apretados donde demostramos todo nuestro amor y ternura a las personas que queremos.
Por ello sentĆ­ la necesidad de crear un hermoso chal de esperanza que represente todos esos abrazos que estĆ”n por llegar y volver hacernos felices otra vez. Ā”Un chal que nos haga sentir ALEGRƍA! Ā” Un chal donde podamos sentirnos ā€œWrapped in a Hugā€ cuando nos envuelve!

ā€œWrapped in a Hugā€ es un chal asimĆ©trico de talla Ćŗnica que se divide en dos partes.

La primera es un sencillo canalĆ© 2×2 en el color principal. Un bonito hilo de color contraste envuelve 6 puntos elĆ”sticos y crea el punto ā€˜smocked ribbing wrapsā€™, alternĆ”ndolo alredor del chal.
La segunda parte, el borde, estĆ” basado en el punto ā€˜Chevronā€™. Tres capas de este punto le dan una textura agradable al chal. Un poco antes del cierre, una pasada de bolitas rosas o amarillas, dependiendo de la versiĆ³n escogida, hace que el borde final sea mĆ”s romĆ”ntico y elegante.
