Square #10: Four Hearts Square

Tools needed: size H hook, yarn needle, tape measure or ruler

Yarn needed: two colors of medium weight (4) yarn

Skills needed: chain, slip stitch, double crochet

Pattern: http://hooksandyarns.blogspot.com/2011/07/4-heart-square.html

Notes:  This pattern asks you to crochet in back loop only and in front loop only in a couple of places.  If you’re not familiar with that, you can check out the tutorial here: http://www.stitchdiva.com/tutorials/crochet/crochet-in-the-front-or-back-loops-of-a-stitch but it ends up being pretty self-explanatory.  A fun fact is that I learned to crochet incorrectly and for a very long time was only crocheting in the back loops all the time.  It makes everything have a very interesting ribbed look, but it’s not always what you’re going for.  In fact, that’s rarely what you’re going for.  Oops.

As always, if you have any questions, comment below or e-mail me at crochetwithanna@gmail.com.
