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 āWrapped 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 ALEGRĆA! Ā” Un chal donde podamos sentirnos āWrapped in a Hugā cuando nos envuelve!
āWrapped 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 āsmocked ribbing wrapsā, alternĆ”ndolo alredor del chal.
La segunda parte, el borde, estĆ” basado en el punto āChevronā. 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.
