Sweetheart pattern

Updated: Jan 22, 2023


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 )

left over yarn from your wool and the gang kit? why not turn it into a stunning wall hanging

What do you do with your left over yarns? I had some gorgeous left over crazy sexy wool from a jumper kit I received from the awesome Wool and the Gang. The jumper I made is called the heart of mine jumper. The kit comes with everything you need to make it the right amount of yarn in any colour of your choice the pattern and crochet hook. The pattern is very easy to follow and you can make it in no time at all I chose the colour Cameo rose, such a pretty colour, crazy sexy wool is so squishy and soft to touch, imagine how lovely this jumper is to wear.

I was very happy with my new jumper, and even more happy because I nearly had a whole skin of crazy sexy wool left over.  I wanted to make something visual and special with this last piece of yarn also this Cameo rose colour is so pretty and calming I could stare at it all day long that's why I decided to make a cute chunky wall hanging.

How to make a wall hanging

​

​

Materials

​

150g of crazy sexy wool

15mm crochet hook

yarn needle

any stick you can hang your square on.

​

​

The square is called a square inside a square, the pattern is not my pattern, I found it on Pinterest from hooksandyarns.blogspot.com. I made my square in just one colour. You can use any pattern really, I just love the look and texture you get when using this pattern. When you have finished your square sew in all the ends. Now to attach some tassels, I put one tassel through every stitch at the bottom of my square.

​

How to make your tassels

​

With one piece of yarn 24cm long, fold it in half with the loop at the end, then push it through your first stitch, then gently pull the yarn threads through your stitch and loop and tighten, repeat till the very last stitch. Don't worry if some of your tassels are longer then the others, you can give them a little trim once you've finished.

​

Attaching your stick

​

Using your yarn needle, sew the stick onto the square, attach another piece of yarn to each end of your stick which you will use to hang your wall hanging.

​

I hope you have enjoyed this wall hanging idea, please do tag me on Instagram @sweet_Sharna if your have an account and make one.
