A newbie...
Hello and good morning everyone. I have been knitting since Christmas 1995 (self taught as I'm a leftie) and been crocheting since I was 14. Most of what I make goes out the door as a gift or for charity. I have a stash of yarn, my needles and hooks.. some patterns. I am trying to find a pattern of a heart shaped afghan, done in one solid piece, not pieced together. If anyone has one they care to share please I would be greatly appreciative..or if you know where I can find one online please share the website with me... please...
Thank you and have a blessed day.

Hello,
Welcome to the forums! I have been searching. I have found pictures of large heart afghans, but there is not a pattern on sites. I will keep looking and other members may also have some ideas.
If you can find a heart pattern you like and you are good at increasing the pattern, this may be an option as well.

Here is a link to a free pattern that is cute, but I am not sure how large you can make it. Also, it uses a diagram and there is a video to watch on how to make this. Not sure if this will help you or not?

Hi craftn56 and welcome to CT. I am also a lefty. A righthanded high school student of mine taught me to crochet and knit in 1969-70. She taught me righthanded so I crochet righthanded!!!!! I am 65, retired and have 4 grandchildren. I mostly make baby blankets and full afghans for Project Linus. Since I broke my hip in August 2012, this has become an addiction!!! Again nice to have you here! Shirley

Thank you. I used to crochet doilies, that was when I had good eyesight, lol! My sweet Mother was my teacher, poor thing had fits with me in trying to teach me..lol! Now when I work with yarn it takes me back to those sweet times......
Have a blessed day!

Shirley thank you. I got hurt on the job in 2011 so I keep my days and hands busy with my yarn stash. I have cd's with lots of patterns and 3 thumb drives full of patterns. I learned after Katrina to make my patterns easier to take with me.
Have a blessed day!
