I love roses and I love hearts; so began my quest for a rosy heart. Weariness from searching for such a pattern, the help of Christina’s Swirly Rose and structural practice from some of the first crocheted hearts I made like Amelia’s Heart Bookmark, June’s Love Hearts and Lucy’s Teeny Tiny Hearts led to my wish coming true. Finally, a rosy heart.
