Wrapped in Hope Shawl: Free Crochet Pattern
Today, I am excited to welcome Christine, my very good friend to the blog. We’ve come a long way. Got to know Christine some years back and she has tested so many of my patterns with so much attention to details, little wonder she is now a very good tech editor and pattern designer. Her design, wrapped in hope Tunisian crochet shawl is one that is unique in many ways – It teaches the basic skills of Tunisian crochet and also in honor of her friend Kristen. If you feel like supporting this mission, kindly visit her store to purchase the ad-free copy of this pattern.

Wrapped in hope shawl pattern inspiration
It is not often that you stay connected with the people you grow up with. That is not the case for Christine and Jean, they have been friends since grade school. When a friend, Kristen, lost her battle to cancer Jean found a cause she wanted to support in her honor. Of course, Christine was on board. This cause is near and dear to their hearts as women, mothers, sisters, and friends.
Jeanie Patten-Coble, a breast cancer survivor, started Little Pink Houses of Hope in 2009 right after her own diagnosis. It was important for her to support not only the individual going through diagnosis and treatment but also their loved ones involved in the process. With 10 states hosting retreats and 20 retreat locations Little Pink Houses of Hope is hosting retreats from April to November. However, you can always check out virtual retreats all year long.
More details about the wrapped in hope crochet shawl pattern
Wrapped in Hope Shawl uses a variety of Tunisian crochet stitches to create a beautiful piece to wrap yourself in love and hope. The yarn Christine used is WeCrochet Daydream in the colors Tulle and Tulip. You will need two of each color to make this project. You will also need an L Tunisian hook with a cable. Christine chose this particular yarn because it is pink in color just like breast cancer awareness. Talk about being wrapped in love in comfort, this yarn is fluffy and the design of this shawl is wide enough for you to feel wrapped in a hug.
