Heart Squares

This free pattern by Yarnspirations is called the Crochet Heart Dishcloth / Afghan. The concept is pretty versatile. Do one square for a dishcloth or do many squares and attach them together to make an afghan.

For myself, I did a few tweaks to the pattern.

My Pattern - Tweaked from Original

Please note that my changes to the pattern do not make this my own design. The original designer at Yarnspiration did the work for geometry and more. My tweaking is considered and adaptation to the pattern. With being sponsored by Yarnspirations, I am to tweak with their patterns without breaking copyright laws.

I tweaked the pattern after round 6 in the original pattern. For myself, I couldn't get the pattern to have the heart stay balanced in the middle. My heart kept tipping to the right with both my middle top and bottom being one ch-3 space out. In the video tutorial, I explain this and what you are looking for more carefully. It will make sense once you see it in the tutorial.

I have added an additional round to bring my heart back into balance so it's straight and centered.

        We have a Unicorn Snuggle Sack but it may be too big. https://thecrochetcrowd.com/15-crochet-snuggle-sacks-tutorials/

        You might want to check Sarah's site out. https://repeatcrafterme.com I bet she has some really cute things to try. I don't have anything really unicorn specific. I did see on Stitch Social today a woman did a unicorn applique on top of a blanket. Those types of really awesome applique patterns are by Nella's Cottage for a small fee. Really awesome if you have time to search. Here's the site if you are interested. https://nellascottage.patternbyetsy.com/

    Very nice granny - I like it so much! Is it possible to add a diagram for crocheters who prefer picture than words? 🙂
