I had so much fun designing my annual heart blanket, especially when I realized my daughter-in-law’s little sister’s birthday was coming up and she has a baby doll she loves to play with! I loved playing dolls when I was little and confession, I loved playing baby dolls with my own girls when they were little!

Now let’s get to talking about how in the world I’m going to be able to share with you how I made it. I’ve tried making a graph for you, but in this instance, I can’t get it to work out because I’m not using corner to corner crochet or a typical graphgan type stitch. I am using HDC stitch (half double crochet) but I’m working in between the posts, so a graph doesn’t help me show you where the stitches are.

So, I’m very sorry to absolute beginners, this is going to be more of a freestyle type crochet heart, which if you are brave, and have some crochet experience, I hope I can explain it well enough that you can get the heart made in the middle of the blanket.
