DIY: Crochet Wide Hearts

-
EN

If you have been following my Instagram, you probably have noticed these crochet hearts, that I like to call them wide (or wild) hearts! Valentine is upcoming and I just want to share you guys an easy crochet ‘heart’ tutorial.

Overall I think Valentine’s Day is a materialistic thing and unnecessary. Because why spend extra time and love on only one day instead of the whole year rest of your life?
So the key of my DIY today is to keep it simple yet make it fun and personal to your likings.

Since there are many many many heart patterns out there like at Pinterest, I still hope you’ll try out my version!

Als je mn Instagram volgt dan zul je waarschijnlijk deze lieve gehaakte hartjes hebben gezien! Valentine is aanstaande en daarom wil ik jullie een makkelijk haak instructie geven, namelijk een hartje! Ik noem ze ook wel wijde hartjes omdat ze net iets breder zijn dan de meeste doorsnee harten.

Valentijnsdag is leuk maar ook heel erg materialistische en daarom ook wel beetje onnodig. Want waarom extra tijd en liefde geven op maar een dag terwijl je eigenlijk door heel het jaar rest van je leven kan doen?
Dus de sleutel van mijn DIY vandaag is: hou het simpel maar maak het wel leuk en persoonlijk aan uw voorkeur.

Aangezien er vele vele vele hart patronen zijn in knutselboeken en online, zoals op Pinterest, hoop ik dat jullie de mijne ook zult proberen!


The pattern
Chain: 13
Row 2: 2nd stitch (i.e. 12th chain): 5x double crochet
             3rd – 4th stitch: 1x double crochet
             5th stitch: 3x double crochet
             6th – last stitch: 1x double crochet, last stitch: 6x double crochet total

Row 3: 1st – 2nd stitch: 1x double crochet
             3rd stitch: 1x half double crochet
             4th stitch: 1x single crochet
             5th stitch: slip stitch
             6th stitch: skip!
             7th stitch: slip stitch
             8th stitch: 1x single crochet
             9th stitch: 1x half double crochet
             10th – 11th stitch: 1x double crochet

Row 4: 1st stitch: 1x half double crochet
             2nd stitch: 1x single crochet
             3rd stitch: slip stitch, cut, leave yarn!

Looks like a boomerang ha.

Pull the ends through the loops on the back and cut off!

    Valentine's Day is actually one of my favorite holidays lol.
    I love these hearts! I personally think wide/"wild" hearts are more cute. ^^

    So sweet, a box full of hearts! I like to take advantage of St Valentine's to go on a laid-back date with the hubs, not because of the day but as an excuse to visit a restaurant we don't go frequently ;)

EN It’s holidays and Liberation Days in The Netherlands and with all these delicious day offs, I’ve finally got more time to do my yarn works. And yes sleeping in late is also great. But mostly I’ve been really productive with my yarn works, whereas the most recent ones - the puff pastry/Danish I have received a fair amount of likes and sweet comments on my social media. Thank you! Being productive means also I take effort and time in perfecting my yarn works but not too hard to make luckily! Especially the snail rolls (cinnamon rolls/pain aux raisin) are really easy and fun to make. And because sharing is caring, I’m sharing you my little secret of making these crochet cinnamon rolls!    NL Heerlijk de meivakantie met al die vrije dagen kan ik lekker ongestoord op mijn haak werkjes storten. En natuurlijk ook heerlijk uitslapen hoort erbij maar de laatste tijd ben ik super productief geweest met haken. Mijn meest recente werkjes - het bladerdeeg/br...
