It’s the end of the month already, and time for the February Crochet-Along link up!
This month we had a choice of three projects, all with a Valentines theme; an envelope, a Danish heart or a cupcake.
I chose to do the Danish heart which is made from a free pattern found here.
I think traditionally you make them in three different sizes, but I have just made the one.
It’s very interesting how starting from two oval shaped pieces you end up with the finished heart. When I was making each individual oval, since they have two slits/gaps in the middle for the weaving, they did look a little odd. It did look a little like I was making some dodgy crochet underwear, and when asked “What are you making?” the answer “It’s a Valentines thing!” did not help at all!!
Comparing my finished heart to the original in the pattern I think my weaving is a little wrong which makes it look like there is more white than red, but I finished it, and it’s something a bit different, and it looks OK 🙂
Tomorrow (or more likely Saturday because of the time difference) we find out what March’s crochet-along pattern is. Come and vote and join in on the Curious Pug blog.
Hi Jodie, your Danish heart is lovely. Coming from a person that is just learning how to read patterns honestly just by looking at the heart pattern I got scared a bit :/ Great job!
sorry I linked the comment to my etsy shop
Love your heart. I had almost the same conversation with my family. I had never made the heart before, either… but, I was pleasantly surprised, also.
Oh, gosh, your description of this woven, oval, crochet, valentines ‘underwear’ just made me giggle… lol! I really love the woven look to it. 🙂
how adorable! i love it! my heart came out a hot mess so I made the cupcake instead. the part with the long chain and sc over those came out horrible for some reason. yours looks great!
I think your heart turned out great!!! I love the crochet along. I’ve participated the last two months now. I decided to make the envelopes last month. I think I may have been the only one to do that! Ha.
