Tutorial „Early Valentine“ Hearts - Anleitung Herzen „Früher Valentin“

 

Dear friends, 

I had not come round to writing the pattern of the hearts of the „Early Valentine“ wreath in my last post yet, but I've got it ready now.
 

Notes:

• I started each new round with a standing stitch (no chains) and made an invisible join at the end
• Make two halves (will be joined in round 6)
• Even though I used Gründl Cotton Fun (and a N°3,5 hook), the hearts can be crocheted in any yarn you like (using the corresponding hook).

 

 Materials:

• crochet hook
• yarn sewing needle
• yarn in different shades
• fiberfill

 

Abbreviations:

• ch = chain stitch
• dc = double crochet
• dtr = double treble
• htr = half treble
• loop = loop made of ch
• mc = magic circle
• ss = slip stitch
• tr2tog = 2 tr together

 

Instructions:

Start with MC

Round 1: 8x (tr2tog + ch 2)
  

Round 2: 8x (ch 3 in each loop)
  

Round 3:

• it might be easier to start at the pointy end of the heart (even though I did not as you can see in the pictures); look at the following picture though for finding the right stitch to start from
• (tr + ch 1 + dtr + ch 1 + tr) + 2 tr + 2x 1tr + 2 tr + 2x 1tr + 2 tr + 2x 1tr + 2 tr + (tr + htr) + dc + (htr + tr) + 2 tr + 2x 1 tr + 2 tr + 2x 1 tr + 2 tr + 2x 1 tr + 2 tr

Round 4:

• again it might be easier to start at the pointy end = insert hook into dtr
• (dc + ch 2 + dc) + 2x 1 dc + 5x 1 htr + 4x 1 tr + 2 tr + 2x 1 tr + 2 tr + 1 tr + (tr + htr) + ch 1 + skip 1 stitch + dc (in dc) + ch 1 + skip 1 stitch + (htr + tr) + 1 tr + 2 tr + 2x 1 tr + 2 tr + 4x 1 tr + 5x 1 htr + 2x 1 dc

Round 5:

• decorative strips are made out of ss
• look at picture for orientation
• make one side at the time

Round 6:

• join both sides with dc in each stitch, except:
  - skip both ch at the top of the heart 
  - (dc + ch 2 + dc) in both loops
  - do not forget to stuff the heart!

   

Happy crocheting!

  

P.S.: If you'd come across a mistake – please let me know!

P.S.2: I'll keep in touch!

Already made some more hearts...
