Picot Edge Heart - Day 30 IBGHD 2020

 


Good morning all!

Well, this month has really flown by hasn't it! It seems like only yesterday I was posting the first pattern for the month, and here we are on the last already. 

I hope everyone has thoroughly enjoyed making hearts instead of hats this year. It's been different, but a good different. 

As we wrap everything up, I want to take a moment to thank you all for joining in, and making such a huge impact in the lives of so many people. Truly, you are all such amazing people. The amount of love and support your hearts will bring those who are breaking will be incredible. Thankyou. 

So I guess lets get onto the last pattern, and at the bottom of the page here I'll add in all the charities and their postal details again so you can find them easily. Here we go!





Picot Edge Heart

You will need to colours of yarn for this heart, one for the heart itself and one for the edge. 

1: Ch5, join to the first ch to make a ring

2: Into the ring, ch3, dc, ch4, 2dc, ch4, 2dc, ch4, 2dc, ch4, join to the top of the starting ch3

3: Ch1, sc in the same st, sc in the next st, in the ch4 space (2sc, ch2, 2sc), *sc in the next 2 sts, in the next ch4 space (2sc, ch2, 2sc)*, repeat *to* twice more, join to the first sc.

4: Slst in the first 4 sts, slst in the ch2 space, sk the next 3 sts and in between the 3rd and 4th st make 10 trc, slst in the next ch2 space, sk 3 sts, between the 3rd and 4th sts make 10 trc, slst into the next ch2, end off.

5: With a contrasting colour, join in the slst between the top of the heart humps, sc in the next st, *ch3, slst into the first ch, sc in the next 2 sts*, repeat around, sc to last st, join with a slst to the starting join. End off and weave in tails.

Size Notes:
3.5mm hook + 8ply = 10cm heart
2.0mm hook + 4ply = 7cm heart





What next?

Over the next few days we'll spend time finishing up our hearts, weaving in edges and reflecting.
On October 15th, international pregnancy and infant loss day, we remember all the babies and post our hearts to one of the organisations listed below. Its ok if you can't post on the 15th and do it earlier or later, given how difficult it is right now with the pandemic situation, we all know timelines are a bit out the window. That is totally ok. 

This year I will be asking everyone to send me a tally and any photos for a round up video using email and THIS FORM HERE so please have a look :) Even if you don't want to send photos, please fill in the form, this is how we are keeping tally of the heart numbers this year. 

Again, thankyou for joining in. I hope everyone enjoyed the drive this year, and I look forward to next year and whatever it brings for the next IBGHD. <3
