In honor of Valentines Day, I give you some hearts. There are four different tatted hearts and four identical crochet hearts. I have made these small crochet pineapple heart sachets for many years and given to my girlfriends on Valentine's Day. They are a modified pattern from an old White Crochet magazine. I create two pineapple motifs and lace together with ribbon. A small soap can be inserted or a bag of lavender. You could also fill with fiber filling and create a pincushion. They make up quickly and I now add some tatting to the top to make them my own.
The tatted hearts are as follows:
Starting at 12:00 o'clock is the Sweet Heart Valentine by Maria Lenuta "MaryLena" Pop. This is a pattern provided by the online tatting class. I created this with one shuttle only. It is similar to ankars tatting.
At 3:00 o'clock is heart by Agnieszka Dreker and a link to the pattern is here.
At 6:00 o'clock is a pattern by Eileen Stafford, I made this in Hakelgarn 20 and the pattern is available here.
At 9:00 o'clock is a tatted heart made from a corner vintage pattern, I spoke about on the blog here.
The combination of tatting and crochet is very effective. Lovely gifts!
