Chart

Gauge

11 sc = 2 inches; 12 rows = 2 inches

Take time to check gauge.

Pattern Notes

Join with slip stitch as indicated unless otherwise stated.

Each square on the chart depicts 1 single crochet.

Read the chart as follows:

Odd-numbered rows: Read and change colors from right to left. Even-numbered rows: Read and change colors from left to right. Change color in the single crochet before the color change is shown.

Carry color not in use on wrong side to bring it across and/or up to the next stitch/row where it will be used. For large areas of the same color, it is best to attach small balls of yarn on each side of the large area instead of working over the color; for example, use 1 small ball of bumblebee on each side of the heart.
