Hygge Scheepjes CAL 2017

***Please note: This pattern is available as a free version on the [Scheepjes website][1] as UK version. The pattern is available as a US version on [Haak Maar Raak][2].** The PDF version purchasable on Ravelry is a styled version without advertisements, easily printable and includes all tutorials for the shawl. The PDF version is in US terms.* *‘Hygge’ (pronounced ‘Hoo-ga’) is a Danish word, which means cosiness. Imagine being in a warm and welcoming environment whilst enjoying the good things in life. Snuggling on the sofa crafting, enjoying a good meal, wearing your favourite sweater, drinking a warm cup of tea, getting together with friends to talk and create, its all Hygge.* Designer Kirsten Ballering from blog [Haak Maar Raak][3] has been working with Scheepjes to plan this beautiful Scandinavian themed crochet-along. From the very first Scheepjes CAL, people have been asking when the famous Stone Washed yarns will appear in a CAL and now we can tell you that will be this year! We teamed it up with our colourful Catona yarns for a beautiful contrast. Kirsten was inspired by traditional Scandinavian designs to decorate this wrap with a combination of both crochet and cross-stitch. The CAL will start on **Wednesday February 15th 2017**. Over 14 weeks you will create a beautiful winter warmer shawl to become the perfect Hygge companion. Wrap it around your shoulders for a cosy night in whilst reading a book or watching your favourite TV shows. **Every Wednesday** a new part of the pattern will be released. The patterns are available in English UK terminology as well as US terminology, Dutch and Swedish. As always, Esther from I[t’s All in a Nutshell][4] blog will be one of your Hygge friends joining you on this project, helping you learn new skills along the way. 5 colour kits are available for the Hygge CAL: * Rainbow kit * Jewel kit * Pastel kit * Simy's choice 'Danish Mermaid' kit (limited edition) * Girls' night in kit (limited edition) All kits will be available from February 1st 2017 through Scheepjes retailers. Join our Scheepjes CAL through the [Dutch][5] and [International Facebook group][6] or via [Scheepjes.com][7].
