Rosy Heart

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][1] and structural practice from some of the first crocheted hearts I made like [Amelia's Heart Bookmark][2], [June's Love Hearts][3] and [Lucy's Teeny Tiny Hearts][4] led to my wish coming true. Finally, a rosy heart. rosy heart applique for a heart measuring ~ 2.50 inches by 2.00 inches use worsted yarn and a 3.75mm hook for a heart measuring ~ 2.00 inches by 1.75 inches use dk yarn and a 3.75mm hook for a heart measuring ~ 1.5 inches by 1.75 inches use fingering (sock) yarn and 3.50mm hook for a heart measuring ~ 1.25 inches by 1.5 inches use a double strand of a lace weight yarn and a 3.00mm hook [1]: http://lovestitchlove.blogspot.com/2011/10/swirly-rose-free-pattern.html [2]: http://www.crochetville.com/community/topic/88245-overlapping-hearts-bookmark-pattern/ [3]: http://www.planetjune.com/blog/free-crochet-patterns/love-hearts/ [4]: http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/teeny-tiny-hearts.html
