crochet heart pattern in English...

lousy title but that's what it is

there is a little heart floating around and seems there isn't a pattern

I've seen it in lots of different places

don't know who did it

but here it is in

English

with the yarn of your choice

most of the ones I've seen are made with cotton

but it doesn't have to be

ch 12

sc across

ch 1 turn and sc across

basically make yourself a square

don't cut the yarn when your're satisfied with the square

find the middle of one of the sides

the one closest to the last stitch you just made is probably the best :)

and

make 9 triple crochets in that middle point

when you have made the first

"shell"

make a sc in the corner and make another shell of 9 trc on the next side

fasten off

join yarn in the middle of the shells and make an edge around to tidy it up

use sc or hdc

when you get back to the beginning

ss it to the first stitch and if you like make a long chain to hang it from

the end

I made this as fast as I could

it's also smaller than the pattern but it doesn't matter what size you make

it's the same idea

a square

with two

round things on two sides

the photo is complete rubbish

no light and red yarn make for a disaster

made one of the snowflake blocks and posted a photo on her blog

it was good to see the pattern worked!!

Thanks Tammy

hope you make more and end up with a happy pillow for Jingles maybe!!!

 make two of the hearts and sew them together and stuff them

or you could add them on a package

or make one of those garlands that seem to be so popular
