I am finding the crochet hearts quite addictive! I decided to move on from the heart garland and make a little hair clip.
Use size 5 crochet hook and embroidery floss (all six strands)
Basic Heart
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 in center, pull loop to back and fasten off.
I used Angry Chicken's covered hair barrette tutorial. After I sewed the two pieces of felt together I used embroidery thread to make some embellishments. I then stitched the heart to the top of the felt cover.
We are now ready for Valentine's Day!
That is so adorable. I really need to make some of those felt covered barrettes. It’s been on my crafty to-do list for quite awhile.
So adorable! Looks easy to make too!
I am addicted also, thanks so much for the pattern. I have now made for both of my daughters teachers to replace some of the wasteful paper things they use in the classroom, 2 for myself and doorhangers for my kids.
oh they are so cute!
So cute, I just made something similar using your heart tutorial. I did the first round for the heart using yarn and attached it to a barrett. I just posted it on my blog.
