• Hook: 5.0 mm crochet hook
• Additional Supplies: Natural jute twine for stringing the hearts together, scissors, and a yarn needle for weaving in ends.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating the Hearts

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Hold the yarn in your hand and wrap it around your fingers to create a loop. Insert your hook into the loop, yarn over, and pull through to create your magic ring.
2. Round 1: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet). Now, work 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. To close the round, join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the initial chain 3. You should have a total of 12 dc.
3. Round 2: Chain 3, then work 1 dc in the same stitch. Next, work 2 dc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain 3. You will now have 24 dc.
4. Round 3: Chain 3, work 1 dc in the same stitch, then 1 dc in the next stitch. Now, repeat the pattern of *2 dc in the next stitch, 1 dc in the next stitch* around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain 3. You should have 36 dc.
5. Round 4: Chain 1, work 1 single crochet (sc) in the same stitch, then sc in the next 3 stitches. Next, work 2 half double crochets (hdc) in the next 2 stitches, followed by 2 dc in the next stitch. Now, chain 2 and make a picot by working a sl st in the 2nd chain from the hook. After making the picot, work 2 dc in the next stitch, followed by 2 dc in the next 2 stitches, then 2 hdc in the next 2 stitches, and sc in the next 3 stitches. Finally, make a sl st in the next stitch and fasten off.
6. Finishing: Weave in all ends using a yarn needle. Repeat the steps above to create as many hearts as you desire for your bunting.

Assembling the Bunting

1. Stringing the Hearts: Cut a length of natural jute twine to your desired length for the bunting. Leave extra twine on either end for hanging.
2. Attach the Hearts: Use the yarn needle to thread the jute twine through the top of each heart. Space the hearts evenly along the twine, adjusting as necessary to achieve your desired look.
3. Final Touch: Once all hearts are strung, hang your Vintage Heart Bunting across a mantel, window, or any space that needs a touch of love and charm!
