Learn to make these adorable crochet pocket hugs, I first heard about in a group which is all about random acts of kindness. What are random acts of kindness. They can be anything you make and leave around town for others to find. Since I have started to these random acts of kindness I have not only touched many lives but enriched my own life. It gives me another purpose, just knowing that hopefully it gives the finder the same amount of joy I receive by making it brings me immense happiness. I not only leave crochet items I love to abandon painted rocks but I’ll share more of that in another post.
Here I wanted to share a pattern I have altered from the Random Acts of Crochet Kindness Group where I first learned of these super cute pockets hugs. Since then I created my own pattern and have abandoned many in my neighborhood. I’m hoping that you will join us in spreading love and kindness with this pattern. 🙂 It is super simple and works up very fast.
