[Image]Puff Heart Square
[Image]
Materials: F hook and 4-ply, worsted weight yarn--as much as you need, of
course. You could make several squares out of one 3 1/2 oz. skein. Square
measures 7" x 7". Square size will be partially determined by how loose or
tight you crochet, as well.
Puff Stitch = (YO, insert hk in sc, YO, pull loop through even with hk) 3
times, YO and draw through all 7 loops on hook.

puff row-13)
Row 28: repeat row 2
Row 29: sc in ea row down left side, (ch 1, sc) in corner, sc in ea ch
across foundation row, (ch 1, sc) in corner, sc in ea row up right side,
(ch 1, sc) in corner, sc across row 28, join with sl st in first st of row
29.
The reason for going across row 29 in the border is so that it will be
"right side" row and the piece will be 7". As always, you can adjust
pattern by changing hooks or yarn type. Just be sure your horizontal and
vertical gauge are the same or you'll have a short, fat heart. I never
check gauge myself--I just wing it and pray. Hee hee!
Now that you've done one square, why not do some more? Put them together to
make an afghan for someone you love. You would need 63 squares to make an
afghan approx. 49" x 63" .

An afghan about 49" x 63" would require 63 squares. You could vary the
color scheme by using some solid color squares, some variegated, some
striped and lay the striped squares at different angles to get a different
effect.

Front Cross Stitch Afghan
[Image]
This pattern has been revised to use dc instead of sc rows between the
front cross rows. I found this to go faster. I always have more projects to
make than time to make them. :-)

Xs and Os Afghan
[Image]
This pattern is worked in one piece. The Puff Stitches will form the
letters X, O, X, O, X in each stripe. If you use one color throughout you
will have few ends to sew in. The pattern is very subtle. You can see an X
and part of an O in the picture. The size is purposely left open so that
you can make this into a baby or larger afghan. (If you want a smaller
width for your baby afghan you might use a smaller hook, possibly a G.)
MATERIALS: crochet hook size J; each X/O stripe uses about 4 ozs. worsted
weight yarn
SIZE: one stripe is about 6" x 42"
SPECIAL STITCHES
Puff Stitch: YO, insert hk in next st, YO, pull loop through even with st,
(YO, insert hk in same st, YO, pull loop through ) twice (7 loops on hook),
YO and draw through all loops on hook
Reverse single crochet: Working from left to right, insert hk in st to
right of hk, YO, draw through st, (2 loops on hk), YO and draw through both
loops on hk.
