Crochet Aran Hearts Throw Stitch Along + Tutorial

Sharing is caring!

Crochet Aran Hearts Throw
Crochet Aran Hearts Throw

The Crochet Aran Hearts Throw is our next community pattern project. I've had my eyes on this one for a while as the texture really appeals to me.

This is designed by Bonnie Barker for Red Heart. She used Red Heart Soft. It is completed as a one-piece project. When seeing with the model, the blanket sides are the top and bottom as you are crocheting it. The model is technically sitting at the top of the afghan if you want a visual.

She used 11 balls of Red Heart Soft but those balls are smaller, you can substitute your yarn as well but I would stay within the same weight level of yarn. There are 3 sizes of hooks used. 5.5 mm / 6 mm and 6.5 mm or I, J, and K.

This afghan, you can learn many stitches that include the following:

  1. Front Ridge Stitch
  2. Arrow Stitch
  3. Single Crochet Popcorn Stitch
  4. Diamond Stitch
  5. Popcorn Heart Stitch
  6. Woven Stitch

There is repeating of the stitch work which makes it easier to follow along. For example, the front ridge stitch combined with the arrow stitch shows up 6 times. The Popcorn and Diamond are completed twice and the centre hearts are only once.

I believe this afghan would be ideal for really special occasions such as weddings. I would consider a light gray or for each separate area to be a different colour within a shade family.

Tutorial

The tutorial is just one. There will be a menu on the video itself to be able to fast forward or reverse. For example, you will do the Front Ridge and Arrow Stitch first and then do the Popcorn. There's no point putting a second or more section of the front ridge and arrow stitch over and over again in the tutorial.

    Your first sentence states that this pattern will be a community project. Will it be CAL, SAL, etc? If making for a man, what color or colors would you suggest?

      We did this as a stitch along a few years back. The pattern and videos are still available for people to jump in and stitch this up anytime they are ready.

      For coloring choices, I would ask what colors they like or use team colors for their favorite sports teams.

      Happy Stitching

    Does this pattern have a diagram? I am interested in the diagram for the Popcorn Hearts panel. Thanks.

      Carmen, I'm sorry, I wish it had but sadly no. The designer didn't provide that detail and it's not in the pattern. I did draw it out for myself on scrap paper but it's long gone in the recycling bin.

    Hi thx for the great walk thru! Sooooo helpful!
    For row 25 you show sc in each chain space as well as each popcorn. This would only be 137 stitches including the first and last sc. The pattern says 2 sc in each chain space plus 1 sc in first and last sts - this will get you back to 182.

      I'll have to take a closer look. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
