Wrapping hugs shawl – free pattern

Wrap yourself in warmth and comfort with this free crochet pattern, the Wrapping Hugs Shawl. This cute triangular shawl combines the elegance of the double crochet (dc) stitch with the charm of the “bead stitch”. Crafting this shawl is a breeze, thanks to a straightforward pattern repeat: 1 row of bead stitch followed by 3 rows of double crochet. What’s fantastic is that you can customize the size by simply adding or subtracting rows. While achieving exact gauge isn’t crucial, it’s a good idea to make a swatch to assess the drape of your crocheted fabric. While DK weight yarn is recommended, you can also work this pattern with worsted weight and bulky yarns. To bring this shawl to life, you’ll need a 5.5mm crochet hook. If you opt for self-striping yarn, you’ll enjoy beautiful color changes without the hassle of weaving in countless ends.
