Hugs and kisses features a smocking stitch that beautifully showcases the colors of variegated yarn. It reminds me of the ‘xoxoxo’ or hugs and kisses, that are signed at the end of letters. An interesting stitch combined with a vibrant colorway and topped off with a pompom equals one bright and happy accessory to keep those winter “blahs” at bay! Give it as a gift so someone will always be reminded of your love! Pompom is optional but as always, oh so cute!:)
