Let me tell you a story about the inspiration behind the Hug-Kerchief design. I once gifted a handmade shawl, I knit, to one of my sisters and every time she wears it, she says “I am wearing an “Amanda- Hug.” After being so delighted by the idea that I essentially gifted a tangible hug, I decided to design a simple, cozy and beautiful accessory that anyone could make with just a small amount of yarn for themselves, friends or loved ones to give the gift of a hug. These special mini-sized triangle shawls are like little hugs around your neck. They can be worn in so many ways: bandana-style with the ties in the front or back; on your head like a headband-handkerchief; and they are the perfect gift for anyone, even your pets! When you, your friends, family or furry companions wear a Hug-Kerchief they will be wearing a hug from you.

This pattern comes with 4-charted Hug-Kerchief patterns; make one, make them all. Each Hug-Kerchief is the same mini-shawl triangle shape and size with different pattern variations like lace, eyelets, garter ridges, bobbles, picot edging and tassels. And, each Hug-Kerchief has a tie on each end to keep your hugs in place.
