Crochet Heart Vines
Materials:
- Yarn of your choice (the tutorial mentions using a dark green, loops and threads brand).
- 5 mm crochet hook.
Abbreviations:
- Slip Stitch (sl st)
- Chain (ch)
- Single Crochet (sc)
- Double Crochet (dc)
- Treble Crochet (tr)
Pattern Instructions:
Starting the Heart:
- Create a Slip Stitch and chain 5 (ch 5).
- Treble Crochet (tr) in the first chain by yarning over twice before inserting the hook. Make sure to go into the back bump and the outermost loop for a better fit. Complete the treble crochet by yarning over and pulling through two loops three times.
- In the same space, make two more treble crochets, for a total of three.
- Make three double crochets (dc) in the same space. Since it might be tight, gently tug on the chain to create more space if needed.
- Chain 1 (ch 1), then do a treble crochet (tr), chain one (ch 1), and then prepare to mirror the pattern on the other side.
Mirroring the Pattern:
- Perform three double crochets (dc) in the same space.
- Follow with three treble crochets (tr).
- To close off this section, chain 3 and slip stitch into the center. Then, make another slip stitch in the back for shaping.
Round Two:
- Begin in the chain space with three single crochets (sc).
- Over the next two stitches, place two double crochets in each, making four double crochets in total.
- Single crochet (sc) your way down to the chain space, single crochet in the chain space, then single crochet over the triple crochet.
- Chain 1. On the side loops of the single crochet, insert, yarn over, and pull through both loops and the chain loop.
- Repeat the single crochet sequence on the other side, including the increases over the last two stitches.
- In the chain space, make three more single crochets.
- Slip stitch into the center, make a chain in the back for ease and shaping.
Completing the Heart:
- Chain 13-14 to create your desired length for the next section of the pattern.
- To start the next part of the heart, skip 4 chains and in the fifth chain, commence the pattern as you did the beginning (three trebles, chain, three doubles, etc.), mirroring both sides.
- Finish with a border of single crochets, and follow the pattern as needed for additional hearts.
Additional Notes:
- The project is adjustable based on the yarn color and thickness as desired.
- The tutorial suggests experimenting with different yarns for varied outcomes.
