About the yarn
You can of course use any yarn with matching hook size! For the banner I used Double four by Durable which is similar to Drops Paris. For the little hearts I used Coral mini by Durable, which very similar to Catania or Catona
Measurements : my little heart is about 4,5 cm and the flag is about 18 cm
Abbreviations US terms:
beg beginning
st stitch/stitches
slst slip stitch
ch chain
sc single crochet
hdc half double crochet
dc double crochet
edc extended double crochet
tr triple crochet
dtr double triple crochet
ch-sp chain space
Extended Double Crochet: starts out like a normal dc, yarn over once and insert hook, draw up a loop (three loops on hook), yarn over and draw through one loop (three loops on hook). Yarn over, draw through two loops twice.
Instructions:
Make a magic ring or chain 3 and close with ss in first ch to form ring
Round 1: 2 ch (=1 dc), 11 dc in ring, close with slst in 2nd ch.
Round 2: 3ch, 3tr in next st, 2tr in next st, 2dc in next 2st, (1dc,1edc) in next st, (1tr,1dtr, 1tr) in next st, (1edc,1dc) in next st, 2 dc in next 2 st, 2tr in next st, 3tr in next st, 2ch, close with slst in same st as first beg ch, cut yarn and weave in end.
