Crochet Pattern, With All My Heart Photography Prop / Blanket

$5.00 $3.75

Judge’s Choice winner from the Battle of the Stitches

.

The love of a baby so innocent and sweet 

A feeling of love so strong and unique

.

What can fill your heart more quickly than meeting your brand new baby? I designed my With all my Heart Photo Prop for the Battle of the Stitches Round 4 crochet competition held in December 2014.

The theme we were given was “Love is in the Air” to focus our design on and were required to use the Love Knot as our main stitch focus. 

.

I knew exactly what I wanted to design as soon as I heard the requirements. Babies are amazing and I wanted to celebrate the love that filled my life when having my girls.

.

This pattern is an Intermediate skill level 

.

Requires 12 oz of Red Heart With Love to complete both the Large and small heart bases 

Requires 6 oz of Red Heart Soft OR #3 yarn to complete the Love Knot sections on both the large and small hearts.

Instructions are given to work each section separately OR working the Love knot section directly onto the base.

Work 2 of the same size and stitch them together for a pillow option too! 

Many photos are given to show stitch placement if needed. I also offer support on all my patterns if needed.

.

This pattern has been tested by many experienced crocheters for accuracy.
