I have decided, after much
thought and consideration
to Not do A Crochet A Long in July,
But Rather Go ahead and put the Pattern
out there so you all could make it,
at your leisure.
I have a bunch of Fun Things planned for
The Christmas In July Event.
This Crochet Pattern is now available
in a PDF file for $1.50
in my Craftsy Shop

It is super easy and a great way to use of those left over yarns.
Skill: Easy
Materials:
Crochet
Hook: N-9.0mm
Yarn: 20-30
oz of Worsted Weight yarn, the amount is am estimate,
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
Note:
You will be
crocheting with 3 strands of yarn at all times.
To make it
easier to crochet, I rolled mine in balls,
attaching the yarn as it ran out.
Ch3 at
beginning of rounds count as the 1st 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 1st ch 3 with a sl st. (4 clusters)
R : 2- Turn, (only turn on this row)
Sl
st in the 1st 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 1st
ch3 with a sl st.
(3 dc on each side, 4 corners)
R : 3 - Sl st to the 1st 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 1st 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 1st 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 1st 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.
