How to Crochet the Hold Me Tight (Or Don't) Shawl [Written Crochet Pattern + Video Tutorial]

Happy September, Super Crafties! I thought this month would be an excellent time to release this vibrant pattern. Autumn is (unofficially) here and these months are going to roll by quickly. This shawl was inspired by the song Hold Me Tight Or Don't that was released in 2018. I hadn't seen the music video yet but it was definitely giving me neon slow-dance-at-a-rave feels. Now I think it really fits in with how I perceive the Mexican holiday, Day of the Dead, as an outsider.

This design is a lot simpler than it looks and it just looks like a lot of fun! I've updated the written pattern here for you all first! I deeply appreciate your participation in this club as it helps to support Infiniti Crafting Co. directly!
