Hygge is a Danish word that roughly translates to cosiness, but it’s much more! It’s about cosiness and being in a warm, welcoming environment and enjoying the good things in life. Being with friends and family is hygge. But wearing your favourite sweater with a cup of tea is hygge, too. And working on a cosy wrap, learning new things, and enjoying the process is definitely hygge.

Shawl
You will first work a couple of rounds around the shawl as a whole, to even out the edges. Then you will continue with rows on either side.
You’re now going to work only on the short side of the shawl. Work in rows. Your coloured rows are on the RS, your SW rows on the WS of your shawl, except for the last row.
Repeat rows 4-12 for the other short side of the shawl. Weave in all ends.
If you plan on lining your shawl, block it to size first (instructions on blocking can be found at the document's start). After blocking, leave the shawl to rest for one or two days, so it has plenty of time to resize to its final measurements. In the meantime, pre-wash your fabric (to accommodate for shrinkage) and iron it flat.
