No, I am not feeling sad this Valentine’s Day. Just thought I would change from the traditional red and pink colors to something a little different. A blue Valentine’s Day heart garland decorates a kitchen window.

I crocheted a sweet heart swag following a pattern by Molly on Design Sponge. Instead of tiny hearts made with cotton thread as Molly did, I used worsted weight yarn. I spaced my hearts closer together by chaining 15 between hearts rather than the 40 suggested when using thin cotton. Fifteen hearts were plenty to drape across a double window.
Inspired by Molly Dunham’s Pattern

Lorraine, each craft, each, photo, one lovelier than the next. I really want to make the heart garland, using worsted. is it the same directions? what size hook? Thanks in advance, xo
Oh my goodness. I love your "blue" post! The blue hearts are the best. Thanks so much for stepping out there and doing something different.
Pretty, pretty…haven't crocheted in years but this makes me want to
I love the blue hearts. Happy Valentine's Day to you.
So many pretty things — I really love the heart garland, the blue really makes it stand out.
Happy Valentine's Day!
How pretty, I love it!
Happy Valentines Day!
Your shots are so strikingly beautiful!
Cute garland there, thanks for sharing the pattern.
Molly's garland is sweet but I would have to go with the way you made yours since the thread is just too difficult for me to work with. I love it in blue and it looks great hanging in your window.
Your table vignette is gorgeous. Makes my table look really really messy…lol
That is so sweet looking and being blue I'm sure you can keep it out for quite a while. Happy Valentine's Day.
What a nice change the blue is! Your table vignette is so beautiful ~ the silver & blue is so striking together and I love the sweet bird.
Your white lacy curtians are pretty and the crocheted hearts look perfect against them.
Thanks for sharing your blues.
Happy Blue Monday!
Those precious little hearts are pretty enough to leave up year round!
I like the idea of blue and white Valentine decorations. The pictures in the mosaic are all very lovely.
Happy Valentine's Day!
