Around the
second week of January, I usually start getting creative with my heart
patterns. The first pattern I worked on today is a bit complicated, so I’m
testing it out again before adding it to our website, hopefully by tomorrow. Be sure to look at the
list of recent website additions, listed in the left-hand margin of this blog,
for your convenience.
Blame it on
my stubborn streak, but I was determined to give you all a heart pattern today.
Here’s what I came up with.
Rounded Edge
Triangle Heart Instructions
Uses 2
colors: Color A & Color B
Begin by
making 1 Rounded Edge Triangle Motif in Color A.
Step 1: (Using Color B) With right side up, join yarn
over stitches in center of round 1, between 2 lobes on motif; slip stitch to
first chain 3 space; single crochet in 1st chain 3 space
Step 2: Chain 3, single crochet in next chain 3 space
[Repeat Step
2 through 6th chain 3 space of 2nd lobe.]
Step 3: In 7th chain 3 loop (which will be
the bottom of your heart), make shell {1 sc, 1 hdc, 2 dc, 1 tr, 2 dc, 1 hdc, 1
sc}; single crochet in next chain 3 loop
Step 4: Chain 3, single crochet in next chain 3 loop
[Repeat Step
4 around, making 1 sc in last chain 3 loop and slip stitching where Color B was
joined.]
Step 5: Slip stitch to 1st chain 3 loop;
make 3 single crochet stitches in each chain 3 loop, until you reach bottom of
heart, stopping with 3 sc in last chain 3 space, prior to shell at bottom
Step 6: Chain 3, make shell in center triple crochet
at bottom of heart; chain 3
Step 7: Make 3 single crochet stitches in each chain 3
space around to beginning of round. Join with slip stitch to 1st
stitch in round.
Step 8: {Read through this step before you begin it.}
Chain 1, single crochet in each sc around; make 3 sc in each bottom chain 3
space; make 1 picot (chain 3, slip stitch in 1st chain) after you
single crochet in triple crochet of previous round (bottom point of heart);
after finishing each single crochet around, make final slip stitch and finish
off.
Weave in
loose ends. Use a clothing steamer to relax stitches.
That’s all
for now, kind followers. Until next time, happy crocheting J

That is an interesting take on a heart. Must try it before Valentine's Day :) Maybe red and white!

I've got a few more hearts in my mind's eye, Sangeetha. You should see the other one I worked on yesterday - we'll see if I can get that one finalized today...it's a bit "creative" and a little outside-of-the-box, but it's fun and cute too :)Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI did the granny heart. Now this one, I really have to try it too. You are so kind to share the patterns. Thank you. By the way, would you mind adding the option {Name, URL} in the comment section? I am making a lot of posts in y blog, bindu.ca. thinking of making one about the hearts using your pattern.
ReplyDeleteHi Bindu. I just adjusted a setting in the comments - there was no {Name, URL}, so I'm not sure if it will work. I do know that people can get to your blog by clicking on your name. Thanks for stopping by today. Be sure and send me a pic of your hearts, okay:)
