Crochet a festive garland for your home!
They work together quickly!
You will find the basic heart pattern at Suzie's Stuff among many other great patterns.
Use size J crochet hook and worsted weight yarn.
Heart
Round 1
Chain 4. Make all of the next stitches in the first chain. 3 trc, 3 dc, chain 1, 1 trc, chain 1, 3 dc, 3 trc, chain 2 slip stitch
Round 2
Chain 3, in first trc make sc and hdc, in next stitch 3 hdc, in next stitch 2 hdc, sc in next four stitches, chain 1 dc in trc, chain 1, sc in next four stitches, 2 hdc in next stitch, 3 hdc in next stitch, hdc and sc in next stitch, chain 3 and slip stitch in center
Round 3
Chain 3 , sc in top of chain 3 from previous row , sc in each stitch all the way around (until chain 3 from previous row). I chained one at the tip of the heart to get around the point easier. At beginning of chain 3 from previous row chain three and slip stitch in center of heart. Pull the loop to the back and fasten off.
Inspired Crochet Designs wrote me and said that if you make the following changes on Round 3 it will keep the top of the heart from curling.
Round 3
Chain 3, sc in top of chain 3 from previous row , 2 sc in next stitch, sc in next stitch, 2 sc in next stitch, then sc in each of the next stitches until point of heart, chain one for point, sc in next five stitches, then sc in next st, 2 sc in next stitch, sc in next stitch, 2 sc in next stitch, chain three and then slip stitch in center of heart. Pull the loop to the back and fasten off.
Garland
Chain 45, in top of heart sc, chain 6, sc in top of other side of the heart, chain 12, sc in top of heart, chain 6, sc in top of other side of the heart, chain 12. Repeat until all hearts are joined, chain 45 fasten off.

Thanks for the awesome pattern for the Heart Garland. I love hearts and yes, I love them all year long!
I love your heart garland. I made one up today. But before I finished my garland I used the heart pattern to make a dish scrubby out of strips of nylon tulle. I made two hearts and crocheted them together with single crochets all the way around. I stuffed it a bit with leftover tulle. I have a picture of it on my blog.

I think you should change the way you post on Raverly, bad karma to make it seem like your pattern so that people will click to your site, I love your site but you should just put suzies pattern in your finished projects so that people will see your finished project on her pattern listing on raverly if people like your finished project they can save to favs and you can invite people to your site in YOUR comments – But that just me
I posted a link of this pattern to my blog. I hope that is okay. If not, let me know and I will remove it. Thank you for this pattern, I LOVE it!!
