Make and join triangles first.
Centers and squares are joined to
the circles formed by joining the

For assistance in joining a circle
of triangles to a previous circle of

understanding of the joining process,
it will no longer be necessary to

Designer Tip
When increasing on the head and
hat, the stitch counts do not need
to be exact as long as they are close.
Because the stitches are so tiny, it
can be hard to get an exact count.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
44 inches wide x 50 inches long
MATERIALS
• Plymouth Yarn Encore
Worsted medium (worsted)
weight acrylic/wool yarn
(31/2 oz/200 yds/100g per ball):
7 balls #1386 Christmas red
3 balls #0208 white
• Size J/10/6mm crochet hook or size
needed to obtain gauge
• Tapestry needle
• Locking stitch markers
GAUGE
11 dc = 4 inches; 6 dc rows = 4 inches
Exact gauge is not critical for this
project.
PATTERN NOTES
Afghan is worked in 5 take-along
Panels. Popcorns and surface posts
“paint” foliage and a simple double
crochet/chain pattern creates lacy
snowflakes. Reverse single crochet
is worked for decorative seaming of
Panels and crisp edging. Panels can
be sewn together, if desired.
For longer Afghan in multiples of 6
inches, repeat rows 8–17 in Berries
Panels, then work same number of
rows in Snowflake Panels. Additional
yarn may be needed.
Weave in loose ends as work
progresses, double-backing in woven-
in area to keep ends secure during
washing and drying.
Chain-3 at beginning of row counts
as first double crochet unless
otherwise stated.
Do not remove markers unless
otherwise instructed.
Popcorns are not completed with
1 chain to close. Work 1 chain after
popcorn as indicated; chains are
counted and worked as separate
stitches.

Tunisian Hearts Cup Cozy
Design by Laurie Ann Sand
INTERMEDIATE
SIZE
Fits a cup that measures approxi-
mately 9¼ inches in circumference
at its midpoint.
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Before seaming: 8½ inches in
circumference x 3½ inches tall
MATERIALS
• Lion Brand Wool Ease
medium (worsted) weight
acrylic/wool yarn (3 oz/
197 yds/85g per skein):
1 skein each #139 dark rose
heather (CC) and #140 rose
heather (MC)
• Size 7.0mm afghan hook or size
needed to obtain gauge
• Tapestry needle
Note: Only a small amount of yarn is
needed. You can make quite a few cozies
with just these 2 skeins.
GAUGE
9 TSS = 2¾ inches; 6 rows =
3½ inches
Designer Tip
Tips for color changes:
Try to carry the colors in a consistent
way. For example, I keep the main
color (MC) to the left side of the
work and the contrast color (CC) to
the back of the work, and I never let
the strands cross. This makes it easier
to keep your tension consistent.
Don’t pull the stranded yarn too
tightly when you pick it up again as
this will cause your work to pucker.
90 CROCHET WORLD PRESENTS CROCHET CELEBRATIONS SPRING 2023
PATTERN NOTES
Each Tunisian row consists of a For-
ward Pass and a Return Pass.
The main color is used for all Tu-
nisian simple stitches and the con-
trasting color is used for all Tunisian
puff heart stitches.
Don’t forget to switch colors in the
return pass as appropriate.
Carry unused yarn at the back of the
work, known as “stranding.”
SPECIAL STITCHES

With yarn in back, insert hook under
front vertical bar from side to side,
yo, pull up a lp (see illustration).
