This was a design that was inspired by the beginning crochet class I used to teach. I made this as an example of what can be done with the 3 most basic of crochet stitches; single crochet, double crochet and the chain stitch.

Hugs ‘n’ Kisses, otherwise known as X’s & O’s that is sometimes used in letters and notes to denote a Hug (O) and a Kiss (X). This pattern is made up of alternating rows of Double Crochet Cross Stitches (X’s), and Double Crochet with Ch1 spaces (O’s).
