Beloved X
This toddler-sized blanket features a fancy letter “X” surrounded by a decorative heart design.
This design is also included in the Hugs and Kisses Bundle (30% discount for the X and O)! Or grab the whole Beloved Alphabet at an almost 60% discount!

Interlocking & Mosaic
As always, Beloved X comes with the fully written pattern and charts for both of my preferred colorwork techniques: interlocking crochet and overlay mosaic crochet.
The mosaic version is solid because it uses a chart that was adjusted from the interlocking version. Learn more about these techniques at https://ashleeslint.com/tutorials/interlocking-and-mosaic-crochet/.
Right- & Left-Handed
This design comes with the fully written pattern (in both techniques) for left-handed crocheters so they don’t need to read every line backwards to get the letter legible.
See the collection of patterns with a left-handed option on Ravelry.

Beloved Alphabet Series
This blanket has the same decorative border as all the designs in my Beloved Alphabet series.
These toddler-sized blankets are being published in a random order (not alphabetical) and I hope to have the full set complete before 2026.
Update: as of November 5, 2025 we now have a complete alphabet!

Hugs & Kisses Bundle
I’ve never been able to decide if an X means a kissy face or arms crossed for a hug. And likewise, does the O mean a kissy face or arms surrounding for a hug?
But, regardless of those details, I am publishing “Beloved O” and “Beloved X” at the same time so that I can put them together in a Hugs & Kisses Bundle!
If you’ve already purchased the full set of Beloved Alphabet letters then you won’t need this bundle – there’s nothing extra in it. It’s just these two letters combined into one listing with a discount.
My 10-year-old daughter and I came up with a few additional bundles she thinks I should create: BABY, OMG, LOL, LOVE, ABC. But, as creative and fun as those are, I’ll just leave it at the full set or this little Hugs & Kisses bundle.
Discount Details
No matter which platform you use, the Hugs & Kisses Bundle saves you 30% versus purchased “Beloved O” and “Beloved X” separately.
Offer expired. Until July 29, 2025 you’ll receive an additional 30% discount on this bundle which amounts to a total savings of 50%!
On Ashlee’s webshop, it shows you the regular price and then the sale price (50% discount until July 29).
On Ravelry, when you add these two letters to your cart you’ll see the automatic 50% discount (which will change to 30% after July 29).
On Etsy, the listing’s ‘regular’ price is the first 30% discount and then there’s an additional 30% promotion that gets applied automatically.
