VALENTINE

A functional Valentine :o)

 

The following pattern is my original design.

This pattern has not been tested so please contact me if you find any errors.

MATERIALS:

Hooks: Size B and a Steel Size #7

1 heart shaped plastic canvas
3-16" Ribbon

Stitches used: ch, sl st, sc, dc, picot.

PICOT = Ch 3, sl st in 3rd ch from hk.
(that's it... the picot makes a little bump in the piece you're crocheting)

Difficulty: MEDIUM (the stitches aren't difficult but working in to the canvas is)

NOTE: Color(s) may be changed for any occasion.

FASTEN OFF

FINISHING:

(1) Take a piece of ribbon long enough to go completely around the outside of the heart and still have enough left to tie a bow. Weave this ribbon in and out of the first round being sure both ends come out at the top center of the heart. Tie a bow.

(2) Now make a sign on a thin piece of cardboard that says one of the following phrases or any phrase you like:

Be Mine
Be My Valentine
I Love You
You're Special
You're Cute
You're Sweet

Using a hole punch, make two holes in the top of the sign and attach it to the center of the heart. I tied a knot on the back side so it would stay.

(3) Now use a piece of coordinating yarn or another piece of ribbon and attach a hanger to the top of the heart... see photo.
