Valentine Heart Granny Square Free Pattern

Valentine Heart Granny Square Free Pattern

By AnnooCrochet Designs

I loved creating this Granny, and imagining all the fun projects I could incorporate it in...a lovely Handbag, a cozy Blanket, a trendy little pouch with a zipper...What will you choose to create with it?

You will Need:
Crochet Hook 3.25mm
I used Dungareez Cotton in various colors

Stitches Used on this Pattern:

ch: chain

sl st: slip stitch

sc: single Crochet

hdc: half double Crochet

dc: double crochet

tr: treble
dtr: double treble

With First Color Yarn, make a magic ringRound 1: ch4 (count as first tr and ch1), [tr] 15times, sl st in 3rd ch from begining of round

Round 2: ch1, in same sp [sc,hdc,dc,tr]

4tr in next st, 

3tr in next st

 2dc in next st

 [hdc, sc] in next st, [sc, hdc] in next st, 2dc in next st  

In the corner: tr in the  center st

For the other side of the heart, repeat in opposite order:  2dc,  hdc. sc, sc hdc, , 2dc, 3tr  4tr ( tr, dc, hdc,sc), sc 

Round 3: With second Color Yarn, sc all around , you remember that to create the pointy part of your heart you had made a trebble stitch in round 2? you want to keep the pointy shape therefore instead of a sc, make a hdc when you reach the point, then continue with your sc. 

Round 4: With 3rd Color yarn, and your heart facing you, sk the 4 first stitches at the left of the middle of your heart , ch4 in 5th st

in same st, [hdc, 2dc]

4dc in next st

continue dc, [hdc]5 times

 dc, htr, tr

in next st 4dtr

 in next st [dtr, tr],  continue 4dc,  in next st [ tr, dtr] in next st 4dtr;

 tr; htr; dc; [hdc] 5 times, dc; in next st 4dc; in net st [3dc, hdc]; continue 9dc; join with beginning st of round 4

Round 5:  hdc all around with 3 hdc in corners middle st to create the corner

Note: what you are basically trying to do is to create a square shape around your heart, right? And to do so, you have to hdc all around yes, but you will have to make 3hdc in the same st, at each of the four corners.to help creating a 90 degree angle.
