Introducing, the 5th in the Hugs & Kisses series of patterns. This pretty lapghan size blanket is just perfect for a chilly afternoon to snuggle under, with a cup of tea and a good book.

Hugs & Kisses Around the Block is the rectangle from the middle version of the design that consists of X’s and O’s to represent the Hugs & Kisses. I used 3 Caron Big Cakes to crochet this blanket. You can use your favorite yarn, make it bigger or smaller. You are the artist.
