This pattern was inspired by my Abrazo Shawl. If we have abrazos, we should have besos too! Abrazo means hug in Spanish and besos means kisses in Spanish. I thought it would be super cute to come up with a stitch that criss crosses itself like a ‘x’ which we use all the time for x’s and o’s: kisses and hugs! So, the KISS stitch was born! Every time I make that stitch, as I turn the cable needle, I think to myself “muah!” Diamonds are in there too!! Since they are a girl’s best friend and tend to go along with hugs and kisses - we have our beautiful shawl full of love!
