Notes & Special Instructions

➤ Chains at beginning of a round/row NEVER count as a stitch.

➤ I tend to crochet TIGHT, so you may need to adjust your hook size to accommodate. ➤ I suggest using the invisible join for a seamless look when finishing off.

Heart Hook Home video tutorial ➤ When the pattern says “Pull yarn loop at join to back of work”: Remove hook from yarn, at join insert hook from back to front, grab yarn loop & pull through stitch. This will help give it a more finished look. If you do not like the look of this, just continue as normal.

➤ First DC Options: In this pattern, the 1st DC st in rows/rounds will always be noted as a regular DC. There will be NO Chain instructions on rows/rounds beginning with a DC. Use your preferred method for 1st DC stitch of these rows.

1 - Chainless Starting DC: This is the technique I prefer to use. I also use this technique for 1st FPDC/BPDC of rows/rounds. Moogly Video Tutorial for Chainless Beginning DC stitch

2 - Stacked SC: Stacking 2 SC will result in a similar look to a DC st without added bulk of a Ch2. Brianna K Video Tutorial for Stacked SC

3 - Ch3: Use this as 1st DC of row/round.

4 - Ch2: This will get your sts to height of a DC & then place a regular DC in 1st st of row.
