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.

Crochet pattern
Shawl
Release the stitch marker from the previous part. Ch1, turn.
The separator is crocheted in rows 1-7 (rows 24-30).
Separator
The separator is a recurring piece of crochet that returns every part. It separates the various embroidery sections from each other. It’s a piece of surface crochet that’s worked on top of the crochet (not in the stitches, but over the stitches).
Separator instructions
Take Colour A. If you tend to chain loosely, use a 4.0 mm crochet hook (US size F/6). If the stitchwork pulls too much or your shawl becomes concave at the ends, switch to a larger hook size for this part.
The separator is made on specific rows in the pattern, which will be mentioned in purple throughout.
Embroidery Part 2
Work your embroidery on rows 8-24 (rows 31-47) in cross stitch according to the embroidery scheme, with row 8 being the bottom and row 24 being the top of your embroidered motif.
