Have you heard about the Hug Shot Shawl? We're super excited to be offering kits for this fun knit! 

Sharon From Security, feline extraordinaire, suggested that Casapinka do another FREE pattern with Yarn kit promotion like last month's!

June 4 is (Inter)National Hug Your Cat Day, but Sharon from Security declared the entire weekend National Hug Your Pet Weekend  (June 5 to 7), to include other pets (which means we can include dogs, birds, and you name it)! We're going to celebrate it and invite you to join us too for this fun knit (and some loving from a favourite pet)!

We've made up kits from our yummy new colours and each kit includes the yarn needed to make the shawl and a Ravelry Code to redeem the pattern during June 5th to June 7th.

NOTE: Pattern codes will be sent via e-mail AFTER May 31st. You will be able to download the pattern on Ravelry for free using the code from 12:01 am EST June 5 to 11:59 pm EST on June 7^th.

After June 7th, the pattern will no longer be free with the purchase of a yarn kit, but it will be available to purchase on Ravelry through Casapinka.

If you have already purchased the yarn in one of the colour combinations below, don’t worry – we know who you are and will make sure that you get your codes in time!

Materials Required:

• Two skeins of fingering weight yarn, one solid and one speckled or variegated
• One 4mm/ US 6 24" circular needle
• Tapestry Needle to weave in ends

We have kits available on three different fingering weight bases, and in three different colour combinations! 

Colour Options Available:

• Spring Parade and Gumball Machine
• Blue Poppy and Water Lily Blue

If you would like to order other colours for the shawl, no worries - just let us know what it's for and we'll get you your code!
