Why You’ll Love the Hygge Scheepjes CAL 2017 Crochet Shawl

The Hygge Scheepjes CAL 2017 by Kirsten Ballering is a breathtaking Scandinavian-inspired crochet shawl that combines texture, colorwork, and decorative embroidery techniques into one unforgettable project. Inspired by the Danish concept of “Hygge”—a feeling of warmth, comfort, and contentment—this wrap was designed as the official Scheepjes Crochet Along (CAL) for 2017.

This stunning rectangular wrap features textured crochet stitches, bobbles, surface crochet, and beautiful cross-stitch embellishments that create a traditional Nordic aesthetic. The combination of crochet and embroidery gives the finished shawl a unique heirloom quality that continues to make it one of the most admired Scheepjes CAL projects.

The project was originally released over 14 weeks, allowing crocheters to learn new techniques while creating a cozy and eye-catching accessory. Years after its release, the pattern remains highly popular among crocheters worldwide and continues to inspire impressive finished projects.
