So I finished the Crochet Heart Scarf a couple of weeks ago and while I was working on it, I was inspired to create a fun shawl using the same motifs. So I did! This is how it came out.
After talking to Alice Merlino about using her pattern, she agreed that I could make the pattern available for everyone if I refer to her original pattern and do not rewrite her words or use her pictures. Her words and pictures are awesome so check them out when you make my shawl. Here's her pattern and here's my shawl pattern:
Yarn: Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable
Hook: J
Gauge: not important
Complete foundation row and rows 1-4 of Alice Merlino’s Heart Scarf. Finish off.
Hook: J
Gauge: not important
Complete foundation row and rows 1-4 of Alice Merlino’s Heart Scarf. Finish off.
Ch 13, sl st into the fourth bump from your hook
(makes a chain loop), ch 9, dc in last dc of completed motif, work across top
of motif as in row 5, and at of row, complete foundation row again, turn.
Complete rows 1-4 across to make 3 connected
motifs. Finish off.
Work as established until shawl is desired size.
Work row 5 across all motifs to finish then cut
yarn. Weave in ends and block.
Enjoy!!
Hi. This is a really nice use of the heart pattern. I can't find it mentioned anywhere though of how much yarn it used?
ReplyDeleteNice
ReplyDeleteI cannot find how to do the heart shape pattern anywhere for the beautiful shawl you made? Kind regards Amanda 😊
ReplyDeleteI know I'm coming in really late, but click on the word "pattern" just above the yarn description. The instructions are much clearer there. I copied the link too, just in case https://makezine.com/2012/02/08/project_crochet_heart_scarf/
DeleteI hope this helps!
How do I do the next step after completing rows 1-4. I guess I don't understand the pattern? Do you have any videos of the next step?
ReplyDeleteWell, I took pics of the process and everything, but I can't post em here. I guess the biggest thing I can say is after Row 4 you have to cut yarn and start new with ch 13. I hope you figure it out, because although jumping back and forth between the two patterns is hella confusing, the hearts are really looking beautiful here.
