February conversation hearts
It is now February 2021 and here in the US, a new president
has taken office. I would like to say things might settle down here now, but it
isn’t likely. On a lighter note…
February brings about thoughts of valentine’s day. Love and
romance are in the air. Why not celebrate the month with some conversation
hearts? If you are following along with this pattern on my YouTube channel, you see that the middle heart is white, and the graph shows yellow. I wanted it
to be white, but I had to choose a color to stand in since the graph's background
is white.
Like last month’s piece of the calendar blanket, my
background color is this light tan called ARAN. It is a Red heart super saver yarn.
I have also found a pink that I am using for the border that wasn’t in the last
month’s blanket portion. I added it and if you plan on putting a border on,
you might want to do it when you complete this month’s blanket portion.

Border –
With your border color, make a slip knot and attach the yarn
in the upper right-hand corner. Single crochet in every single crochet across
for 40 single crochets. Chain one and put a second single crochet in the
corner. Now work down the raw edge, putting a single crochet at the end of each
row. Until you get to the corner. In the corner you need to put a single
crochet chain one and single crochet. Work single crochets across the bottom.
This will be the beginning chain where you started your work. Put a single
crochet in every chain across. Work the corner with a single crochet chain one and
single crochet. Work a single crochet at the end of each row up the other raw
edge. When you get to the top where you put in your first single crochet for
the border, put one single crochet chain one and slip stitch into the first
single crochet. Fasten off and sew in your tails.
