Materials:
- Red Heart Super Saver in Cherry Red
- 6.0 mm "J" crochet hook
- 2 1/2 inch wide burlap ribbon (I used wired ribbon-helps it to lay nice and flat)
- Twine, ribbon, or yarn for hanging
- Hot glue
- Scissors
- Tapestry Needle
- Ruler/Tape Measure
Instructions for the One Round Hearts (I made 5 of them total)
Chain 4 and join with a slip stitch in the furthest ch from the hook to form a ring.
Round 1 (work all stitches into the ring): dc, tr, dc, sl st, dc, tr, dc, sc, sc, sc, tr, sc, sc, sc, join to close heart with a slip stitch and fasten off. Weave in ends.
Garland Assembly:
- Cut a piece of twine/ribbon/yarn (I cut approximately 3 feet)
- Cut a rectangle out of the burlap ribbon (mine were about 5 inches tall)
- Cut bottom points of the "flag" by locating the center the cutting two angles inward towards the center point.
- Using the first flag as a template, cute the remaining flags (I made 5 total)
- Lay the twine/ribbon/yarn flat and fold over the top edge of the burlap ribbon over it. Hot Glue in place.
- Repeat for the rest of the flags, carefully placing them to ensure evenly spaced placement
- Flip garland over so flag seams are in the back, then glue a heart to the front center of each flag.
- Allow glue to completely cool and harden before use.
- Trim twine as needed for hanging.

Jennifer, I’ve been intending to write you a note of thanks for some time. I just wasn’t sure where to post it. I participated in your Fall 2017 CAL for the Forest Splendor Shawl. When I finished my shawl, I asked my husband to take a photo of me wearing it. I don’t take many photos, and as soon as I saw it I noticed that something didn’t look right about my neck. Well, to make a long story short, after several doctor’s visits and tests, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My prognosis is good, as it had not spread anywhere and was relatively small. My husband has a lot of health issues so I’m always seeing about him and can’t think how I didn’t see that my neck had a large lump on the side of it. (The lump turned out to be a benign cyst, but in undergoing an ultrasound, the cancer was discovered on my thyroid). I had surgery in January 2018 and have been doing very well since, and I hope this will continue! Anyway, I just wanted to say “thank you” for If it hadn’t been for your CAL, I don’t ‘now how long I would have gone before my cancer was discovered. All the best to you and your family! Sincerely, Bernadette Edens
