SweetHeart Pattern
Who doesn’t love a crochet heart? This crochet heart pattern works up quickly and is a fun little make. Perfect for Valentines Day decorations or make great appliqués to add to any project. In no time you can have a bunch of pretty hearts to turn into a gorgeous garland. Just vary the size of your hook and yarn to make different sized hearts.
Materials: I used a mixture of aran weight cotton yarn and a 4.5mm hook. You can use any yarn with right size hook.
Stitches: UK terms
St(s) - stitch(es)
Ch - chain stitch
Sl st - slip stitch
Dc - double crochet
Tr - treble crochet
Htr - half treble crochet
Dtr - double treble crochet ( wrap the yarn over the hook twice, insert the hook into stitch. Yarn over and pull through the stitch. Yarn over and pull through the first two loops on the hook, so that there are three loops left on the hook.yarn over and pull the the first two loops on the hook again, so that there are two loops left on the hook. Yarn over again and pull through the remaining two loops)
Note: This Heart is worked in the round, joined together using slip stitches.
I used a total of 3 colours for my hearts. I changed colour on each round.
( Round 1 and 2 are worked as a traditional granny square )
