Crochet Heart Pattern (Written Instructions)

1. Start the Base

Make a magic ring.

Ch 3, then work 4 dc into the ring.

Remove the hook, pull the magic ring closed, and carefully thread the crochet piece through the snap hair clip.

2. Cover the Hair Clip

Insert your hook again and begin working sc evenly around the hair clip to cover it.

Work steadily along the edge of the clip.

When you reach the tip of the clip, ch 3 to bridge across to the other side.

Continue working sc evenly around the clip until you reach the end.

Join with a sl st to the 3rd chain of the starting ch 3.

3. Add the Decorative Edge

Ch 1.

In the same stitch, work 2 sc.

Skip 1 stitch, then sl st into the next stitch.

Repeat this pattern all the way around the clip:

2 sc in one stitch, skip 1 stitch, sl st in the next stitch.

At the end, join with a sl st to the first stitch at the base.

4. Finish

Fasten off and weave in all yarn ends neatly.

Your crochet hair clip is now complete.
