Skill: Easy

Materials:

Crochet Hook: N-9.0mm

           as I do not know for sure how much yarn I used,

           as I used up a lot of my let over yarns

Yarn Needle

Stitches:

Chain (ch)

Single Crochet (sc)

Double Crochet (dc)

Skip (sk)

Size: Approximately 42 X 24 inches

To make it easier to crochet, I rolled mine in balls,

attaching the yarn  as it ran out.

I ended up with some pretty fun color combinations.

How to crochet With more then 1 strand of yarn

Ch3 at beginning of rounds count as the 1^st dc.

3 Squares - We will be making 1 regular and 2 with rounded corners.

Step 1 - 1 Regular Square for center of Heart Mat –

With 3 strands of yarn, Ch 5, join in a circle

R : 1 - Ch 3, 2 dc in chain loop, *ch 2, 3 dc* 3 times,

 join to 1^st ch 3 with a sl st. (4 clusters)

R : 2- Turn, (only turn on this row)

 Sl st in the 1^st corner, ch3, 2 dc, ch2, 3 dc,

*1dc in each dc across,3dc, ch2, 3dc in the next corner

* Repeat from * to * 2 more times,

Dc in each dc across, join to 1^st ch3 with a sl st.

 (3 dc on each side, 4 corners)

R : 3 - Sl st to the 1^st corner, ch3, 2 dc, ch2, 3 dc,

 *sk the next 2dc, 1dc in next 5dc across, sk next 2 dc,

3dc, ch2, 3dc in the next corner*

Repeat from * to * 2 more times,

sk the next 2dc, 1dc in next 5dc across, sk next 2 dc,

join to 1^st ch3 with a sl st.

(5 dc on each side, 4 corners)

After R : 3 -- I made the sample in a solid so you could see it better.

Here is a picture to help you understand.

We will be skipping 2 dc after the corner,

and before the next corner.

This will help the Rug not be bunchy.

I made the sample in a solid so you could see it better.

R : 4 – Repeat R : 3 (7dc, 4 corners)

R : 5 – Repeat R : 3 (9dc, 4 corners)

R : 6 - Repeat R : 3 (11dc, 4 corners)

R : 7 - Repeat R : 3 (13dc, 4 corners)

R : 8 - Repeat R : 3 (15dc, 4 corners) tie off and weave in your ends.

Step 2 - 2 Rounded Squares – For Heart Bumps

Repeat R : 1- R : 7

R : 8 - Sl st to the 1^st corner, ch3, 2 dc, ch2, 3 dc,

 *sk the next 2dc, 1dc in next 15dc across, sk next 2 dc,

3dc, ch2, 3dc in the next corner,

*sk the next 2dc, 1dc in next 15dc across, sk next 2 dc*,

4 dc in the next corner*

Repeat From * to *

sk the next 2dc, 1dc in next 15dc across, sk next 2 dc,

Join to 1^st ch3 with a sl st. tie off weave in your ends.

Step 3 – Sewing the Squares Together –

Sew the Pieces together with sc sts.

Place them back sides together and sc through both edges,

 1 sc in each dc across. Make sure the heart bumps / rounded corners

are in the right places. See pic above.

Step 4 - Trim:

R “ 1 - Attach yarn, using  3 strands, join to  the point of the heart,

3sc, then evenly sc around the heart, till you reach the center of the heart,

sc tog the 3 center “sts” for  a nice curved center,

 continue to sc to the point, join,

( St counts are not important here- Just make sure it is even)

If you find your heart bumps are curling, you can always 

add a increase or 2 to round them out.

 If you crochet tightly you will have more curling.

R : 2- I changed to Solid Color here – ch1, 3 sc in the point, I sc in each sc,

When you reach the Heart center, make 3 “3sc tog” with the 9 center scs.

Sc to the point, join, 

R : 3 – Repeat R : 2

R : 4 – Repeat R : 3, join and tie off.

Be sure to Block your rug for crisp clean finish.

I really Love all the colors and the patterns they make.

Remember, I would love To see your 

pics of your finished rugs,

 and you can post them to

 I had the mint green super thick cord yarn.

 it was given to me without a wrapper.

We will be crocheting over the bulky yarn, With the Worsted weight yarn.  To keep the yarns from slipping, I tie a knot in the end of the yarn, then begin stitching over the cord about 5 inches from the end. The knot can be cut off when rung is finished and the ends woven in.

R : 15 - *1 sc in the next  13 sts, * 2 sc in the next st, Repeat from * around.(118) 

  If you want the rug bigger continue to follow the pattern adding increase stitches. 

I continued to until the Rug measured 36 inches

Tie off bulky yarn and weave in the end, leaving the WW yarn still attached.

R : 16 - With just the ww yarn, 1 sl st in 1st St, *skip the next st, 

4 dc in the next st, skip the next st, 1 sl st in the next st,* 

Repeat From *to* around the edge of the Rug.Tie off and weave in the end.

The Rug is very sturdy 

and looks great out back, But

I put it in my Guest room, 

it's just too pretty to put outside!
