Crochet Hugs & Kisses Shawl
My friends at The Crochet Crowd Stitch Social have challenged and inspired me to crochet more and more Hugs & Kisses designs. It's my pleasure to introduce you to my latest design, the Crochet Hugs & Kisses Shawl. This is one of the easier of the series so far to crochet.
I started and restarted this one a few times before I decided to use the Caron Big Cakes in Afternoon Tea. I had 2 of these cakes on hand but just wasn't sure if I enjoyed the colours. It wasn't until I started hooking and watching these beautiful colours start to blend that I watched this blossom into a lovely project.
Of course, you can use your favourite cakes or even try it in a solid colour. And this would make an awesome prayer shawl for a special person that needs comfort.

Mikey has a great tutorial on YouTube for the x-stitch. He calls it the Cross Stitch. The title of the tute is: How to Crochet Criss Cross: Lesson 11. There is a Left Handed version as well.

My previous comment seems to have disappeared. Love what you do and love this pattern but can you update the second half? Oopsies with the numbering and pc vs bobble. Thanks again!

Love your stuff! Can you revise the second half of the pattern? Row 21 before row 15? It would be super helpful if you could give the counts of the bobbles for each bobble row. I'm on the fourth bobble row and don't know if there are extra hdc before and after like before. Thanks again!
