Cute little hearts to use up those tiny scraps of yarn that you really don't want to keep but haven't the heart to throw away.
What do you think? do you like them, I know they may be similar to others out there and I apologise if I have copied someone's design but it wasn't intentional, I just played away with my hook and yarn and this is what I came up with.

ReplyDeleteAdorables, me encantan!!!
ReplyDeleteI love them too and thanks for sharing the pattern with us! Have a good week and greetings from Germany! Sabine.
ReplyDeleteVery cute little hearts! Thank you for sharing the pattern.
ReplyDeleteHi, Linda! I tired to make one yesterday, And I guess I got confused in terms, I mean i know tr and dc mean different in US and UK< but...I will try again. One more thing about the pattern, in round 3 you say "... then 1dtr into hdc of last round to form the point at the base of the heart", last round means previous?because then there is no hdc in it.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I really want to make at least one of such hearts :)
Thank you for pointing that out Hindustanka yes you are right it should read 1dtr into tr of last round, I have changed it. Sorry for confusing you. Please give it another go and if you can't manage it I will try to help :)
DeleteLinda, thanks for help. I will go back to my heart, as it was half done and still waiting to be accomplished :)
Deletei just found your lovely crochet blog. Thanks for sharing those very lovely Lacey Hearts. Love them. Hugs Judy
ReplyDeleteThank you Judy :)
DeleteAdorables !!!
ReplyDeleteBon weekend.
Anna
Thank you Ana
DeleteYour hearts are delightful! I made one tonight.Just the front and it was a challenge but it looks good! Thank you for sharing your design. Alexine
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you managed to follow the pattern ok. :)
DeleteSweet heart/s ! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try this!
ReplyDeleteThese are so adorable!
ReplyDeleteHi, trying to understand your pattern for the blanket, what are the dividing blocks
ReplyDeletePlease send me an email and I will try to sort it for you :)
DeleteI love your hearts and I want to make some, but I'm confused on your terms. I assume you are using English/UK not American English. But you have "hdc" in the pattern.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the help,
Bertha
yes you are right Bertha it should be English terms, sorry for the confusion, I have changed it. I hope to do a chart for these which I hope will make it easier :)
DeleteLovely Pattern Linda I am making one for a friend who is really ill, and I just know she will love it.Thank you for posting the pattern. Anne x
ReplyDeleteYour welcome Anne I'm pleased you like it, I hope your friend gets better soon :)
DeleteWhat a perfect little project. I like it
ReplyDeleteI want some
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Thanks for sharing.<3
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! But....I'm a little confused on the terms. By 'English terms,' you mean UK English, right, not American? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYes that's correct :)
DeleteSo beautiful, Linda!!! Thanks for sharing the pattern. Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty !! Thank you for sharing this pattern - I plan to make some for on top of a wedding gift - with a note inside saying they are to use as a Christmas tree decoration for your first Christmas married - (or however you prefer to use them)
ReplyDeleteWhat size hook, please?
ReplyDeleteHi Louise Ann the gook size will depend on yarn thickness, I used dk acrylic with a 3.75 mm hook and and for a 4ply cotton yarn I used 3.00 mm. I tend to go a size down to give a closer texture. :)
DeleteThese are so sweet Linda, I shall be sure to give them a try x
ReplyDeleteLinda, please don't ever take these down. :) They're really awesome and so shabby chic! I decided (45 yrs old) I am keeping my Xmas tree up. I finally decorated my tree shabby chic after 21 years of a mostly bad marriage.I am so happy I get to do things my way :)! And these are perfect! Thank You so very much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI am so wanting to make your precious little hearts for my valentine tree.
ReplyDeleteWhen making the popcorn stitch is it the typical popcorn stitch (5 dc, join and ch 1)?
Also what type of yarn and hook to you recommend?
I have been trying to make one heart for about three hours, ripping out and starting over and have yet to get one completed. I am determined but am so confused. Your instructions say they are in English terms.
ReplyDeleteFor example what does DT stand for? I also see in the instructions using the UK/Europe/Australia Terms: Example:
into 1st sp ( dc) (dc, htr, tr, dtr) (4dtr) (3dt ) ( 3tr ) (htr, dc) (dc, htr) (2tr, 1ch) then 1dtr into tr of last round to form the point at the base of the heart, (1ch,2tr) (htr, dc) ( dc, htr) (3tr) (3 dtr) (4dtr) (1dtr, 1tr 1htr, 1dc) (dc) join with ss to 1st dc
Does the dc in these instructions stand for a double crochet or single crochet? The 4dtr stand for a double treble? What is DT?
Hi Martha, I can't see where I have written DT, a (dt or dtr) is the same and is a treble in US terms. dc is the same as US sc, when I have time I will add a conversion chart but in the meantime you can find one here..http://www.yarnfwd.com/crochet.html. I'm sorry if I have confused you and I hope you manage to make one in the end. :)
