Have My Heart

Hello!  Today I thought I would share my favorite pattern for crochet hearts.

You can use whatever colors you like.  I made these using Red Heart yarn from my leftover stash.

With size H hook, chain 3.

Row 1:  Sc in second ch from hook and in next ch, turn.                                                                

 Row 2:  Ch 1, 2 sc in first sc, sc in next sc, turn- 3sc.

Row 3:  Ch 1, 2 sc in first sc, sc in next sc, 2 sc in last sc, turn- 5sc.

Row 4:  Ch 1, 2 sc in first sc, sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in last sc, turn- 7 sc.

Row 5:  Sk first sc, 5 dc in next sc (shell made), sk next sc, slip st in next sc, sk next sc, 5 dc in next sc, sk last sc, slip st in beginning ch, turn - 2 shells.

Work now proceeds in rounds.

Round 6:  Ch 2 (does not count as a st), 2 dc in next 3 dc, sc in next dc, slip st in next dc, sk next slip st, slip st in next dc, sc in next dc, 2 dc in next 3 dc, working in ends of rows, work 6 dc evenly spaced along side of heart; working along opposite side of foundation ch, 3 dc in space between 2 sc at base of heart; working in ends of rows, work 6 dc evenly spaced up side of heart; join with slip st in top of beginning ch.

Round 7:  (Change color now if you want to) Ch 2, 2 dc in next 6 dc, sc in next sc, slip st between next 2 slip sts, sc in next sc, 2 dc in next 6 dc, dc in next 7 dc, 3 dc in next dc (point), dc in next 7 dc; join with slip st in top of beginning ch.  Fasten off.

     You can string these together to make a pretty garland if you'd like!
