To crochet the hearts hold two strands of Kidsilk Haze or Angel together throughout, or use any scraps of DK yarn using single strand. I have not given a gauge for this pattern as it is not essential to achieve any sort of tension. You can make the hearts as small or as big as you like. Why not spread a little love and give this ring or brooch to someone who is feeling a little down :)

All you will need is some Rowan Kidsilk Haze or Debbie Bliss Angel. You will hold the yarn DOUBLE through out, I usually take a strand from the outside of the ball and one from the inside, you will need to rummage a bit to find it, but to be honest any scraps of DK yarn will do. I have chosen three colours but you can make each heart in one colour, after all it will be your heart you must make it as individual as you like

Join hearts together by placing them on top of each other and sew in place. Attach beads to the smallest heart by sewing them in place. Attach brooch back or ring base to the back of heart. You can make the hearts bigger by chaining more chains and crocheting additional half trebles, the number of chains should go up by two, so from the biggest one, the next one up would be 15 chain, 17, 19, 21 and so on. If you are making more chains you will have to add rows as well. Your Heart is complete! Anna x
