A Little Heart

I can’t believe how time’s flying! It’s February already, the month of LOVE.
To celebrate it, I’ve created a cute heart pattern: Míra
This beautiful little heart can be a tiny thoughtful gift for Valentine’s Day, it can be used as a decoration, just make a bunch of them or create a garland and hang it on the wall, the possibilities are endless! 🙂
It works up super fast and it’s easy enough for an advanced beginner as it has a full step-by-step photo tutorial.

Size: 7 cm /3” on the widest point

Stitches Used and Abbreviations:
MR = magic ring
CH = chain

SC = single crochet
DC = double crochet
FPDC = front post double crochet
TR = treble crochet
{ } =indicates how many stitches go into the same stitch or used to repeat a small set of instructions between these brackets the number of times given
[ ] = used to repeat a longer set of instructions between these brackets, the number of times given
Special Stitches:
Front Post Double Crochet (FPDC):
Yarn over, insert your hook from front to back around the post of given stitch, from right to left, yarn over and finish your double crochet as usual.

Additional notes:
- If a row/round starts with a Chain 1 or 2, this is not counted as a stitch, unless stated otherwise.
- Slip stitches do not count as stitches.
- US terms used throughout
- At the end of every round, there’s going to be a note with the stitch count, so you can keep track of your work easily and avoid any mistakes. It’s written in a different color in bold
- Notes are written in a different color in (brackets) to help you through the pattern.
- You can start each round as I did in the pattern or you can use a standing stitch or chains, it’s totally up to you!
