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.

It’s important to count your rows carefully, as you will embroider the big backpiece in between the separator of last part, and this part. If you’re not confident that you counted your rows right, you can also choose to create this separator in part 8, after you finish embroidering the backpiece.
The separator is crocheted in rows 51-57 (rows 72-78). For detailed instructions on how to crochet the separator, see part 2.
Optional but recommended: Take a contrast thread, and weave it between rows 57 from the last part en row 1 from this part (rows 152 and 153, the center of the backpiece), and another contrast thread between row 50 and 51 (rows 202 and 203) of this part (the end of the backpiece).
To clarify: you have crocheted 57 rows for the backpiece. Row 1-50 (rows 153-202) will be used for the second half of the backpiece. Row 51-57 (rows 203-209) will be used to crochet the separator on.
