Who doesn’t need a hug?

After reading about Comfort and Cuddle in a designer group (and their request for designers with a pattern to share) I knew this was something I would love to help with.

I wanted it to be cheery with happy hearts and something a knitter would enjoy making and especially giving.

This pattern makes a small cuddle blanket that can be tucked away in a pocket or overnight bag when a blanket is not allowed in a facility or is simply too big.

Please feel free to download this pattern for any purpose, for any group or simply for a friend.

The world needs more love.

Thank you to my tech editor who is always there for me!
