Day 15's Pattern is for a Heart, on DROPS Christmas Calendar 2011. I crocheted this using a 4mm hook and Patons Dk Smoothie in Red. I followed the pattern with the exceptions of making a 15ch for the loop and I crocheted an extra row of dc around the 2 lower sides of the heart and a single row of dc over the top of the heart.
Row 1 - Make a 4ch ring and 1ch, 3dc, 1ch into it. Turn.
Row 2 - 1dc in each of the next 2dc, 3dc in next st, 1dc in each of the next 2dc, 1ch, turn.
Row 3 - 1dc in each of the next 3dc, 3dc in next st, 1dc in each of the next 3dc, 1ch, turn.
Row 4 - 1dc in each of the next 4dc, 3dc in next st, 1dc in each of the next 4dc, 1ch, turn.
Row 5 - 1dc in each of the next 2dc, 4ch, 1tr in 4th ch from hook, skip 1dc, 1dc in each of the next 2dc, 2ch, skip 1dc, 1dc in each of the next 2dc, 4ch, 1tr in 4th ch from hook, skip 1dc, 1dc in each of the next 2dc, turn.
Row 6 - 9ch, 1dc in middle loop, 2ch, 1dc in same middle loop, 9ch, ss in last dc on previous row, 1ch, turn.
Row 7 - 1dc in 1st ch loop, *4ch, 1tr in 4th ch from hook, 1dc in same ch loop*, repeat *to* x3, 1dc in middle loop, ch 15 (for hanging loop), 1dc in middle loop, *4ch, 1tr in 4th ch from hook, 1dc in same ch loop*, repeat *to* x3.
The pattern then says to continue with dc all around the edge of the heart, which I did, but I then continued to crochet an extra row of dc around the lower 2 sides before ss and fasten off the thread.
