    A little retro, a little modern, the Granny Heart Headwarmer is also warm and functional. This one is a great stash buster project, and also great for gifts! I hope you enjoy the pattern and learn a fun technique or two along the way. 🙂

    Gauge

    • See finished granny motif size at the end of the Heart Motif instructions.

    Sized to Fit Head Sizes

    • Toddler: 17" - 19" circumference
    • Child: 19" - 21" circumference
    • Teen / Adult Small: 21" - 22" circumference
    • Adult Medium / Large: 22.5" - 24" circumference

    Notes

    • I tend to crochet on the tighter side, if you crochet more loosely, you may need to go down a hook size or two to meet gauge.
    • Beginning ch-3 in Motif are counted as a stitch and included in stitch count. Beginning ch-1 in the rest of the pattern are not included in stitch count, unless stated otherwise.
    • First stitch of each row is worked into the same stitch as beginning chain, unless stated otherwise.
    • Color Changes: Work all color changes on the final pull thru of the last stitch you’re working before the new color. Example: If the last st you’re working before a color change is a double crochet, begin your double crochet by inserting your hook where indicated, yo, pull up a loop, yo, pull thru 2 loops, yo with the NEW color, pull thru remaining 2 loops to complete the stitch. Then continue on with your new color. *Click here for Change Photo Tutorial.
    • Make sure to work all color changes on the WS of the motif.
    • Carry your yarn while working the motif, but do not pull your yarn floats tight or your gauge will be greatly affected. *Click here to see photos.
    • This Headwarmer is worked from the bottom of the heart motif up. Then you work side to side along the vertical edge to work the remainder of it.

    Special Stitch

    • Alternate Ch-3 (alt-ch3): Complete last st of previous row, take loop off hook, insert hook into the space between the last dc and last 3 dc of previous row, put loop back on hook and pull thru space, turn, ch 3. *Click here for photo tutorial.
