Heart Shapes Within Square (12"h x 12"w inches)

[champygirl]

Here's the square. I tried out the pattern again going up a hook size and it came out to exactly 12"inches. Lately I've been crocheting a little tighter with my H hook so I had to go up to a size I hook.

Please send me a pm if you find any errors.

I have been searching for a pattern that I can make a crocheted handkerchief for a bride to carry. I think I may have found it! I'll make out of thread and a smaller hook. You're a life saver!
