Back in December in the post titled “Last Christmas Ornament of the Year”, I shared a picture of a small crochet heart that I made. I didn’t have the pattern sketched back then, but I promised my readers to share it before Valentine’s Day.
I loved my little ornament even more in red (and I now contemplate trying it in pink). I used pearl cotton thread, and the heart came out about 3 inches tall and 2.75 inches wide.
The finished heart itself was quite simple, but adding a ribbon made a lovely detail and helped shape the heart a bit.
The symbol chart I sketched is shown below. I gladly share it with anyone who would like to try crocheting this ornament. I want to cordially thank Kim from SymbolCrochet Yahoo group for testing my pattern and making valuable suggestions. Thank you, Kim!

I love the hearts. They are so beautiful. I am so happy that I can comment on one of your blogs. I was having trouble all week doing so.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful Olga! Great job on the chart too!
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty, I have got to try some thread crochet. :)
ReplyDeleteLove them going to try it!
ReplyDeleteThese hearts are beautiful! I think they will look gorgeous in pink! xo
ReplyDeleteLovely! I'll try some...
ReplyDeleteYour hearts are very pretty but my brain doesn't seem to translate symbol patterns. If it did, then I would be able to figure out all the Japanese pattern books that are sold here in the one and only craft store around. Best wishes to you, Tammy
ReplyDeleteYour hearts are beautiful! I've seen and made crochet hearts before but I've never seen any quite like this. I found you through 2805. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh! How pretty! I love your chart!
ReplyDeleteI am not good at reading patterns, this is perfect.

ReplyDeleteOlga, your red hearts are so beautiful. I can not crochet but I buy crocheted table cloths, doilies and other beauties at estate sales for myself. You are so talented and I enjoy looking at your blog.

I love all things that look like hearts and these are just beautiful Olga! I think I will make some to give to my girls who come to my house every Monday night for knit {and crochet} night as Valentine's Day gifts. Thanks for sharing the pattern.
ReplyDeleteI want to thank you so much for sharing this beautiful pattern of the crocheted hearts, I'm going to try this pattern out for Valentine's Day. I love the lacy look to them and the ribbon really finishes them off perfectly!
ReplyDeleteI hope that I will manage to follow the chart. I am out of practice as most patterns these days seem to be written ones!
Keep up your good work. You have a gift!
OLGA THE RED HEARTS ARE BEAUTIFUL. I CAN NOT FIGURE HOW TO START THEM IM NOT VERY GOOD AT READING THE DIRECTION. IM A CROCHETER BY LOOKING MOSTLY. CAN YOU TELL ME HOW TO DO THIS PLEASE. THANK YOU JANICE @ MZ WITHERSPOONS @ SPOONWITHER.BLOGSPOT.COM
