In designing my Wrapped in Diamonds Wrap I was scrolling through Pinterest trying to find some inspiration for a new design.  I was scrolling through my Crochet Stitches Board, which can be found here, looking for that perfect stitch.  I came across the Argyle Shell Stitch and fell in LOVE!!

My Wrapped in Diamonds Wrap measures 26″ wide x 73″ long.  The yarn I used is Lion Brand Coboo Yarn.  I used 1000 yards of this beautiful lightweight cotton and bamboo mix.  You can make yours any size you like.  I wanted it long to be able to wrap around myself.

The Argyle Shell Stitch consists of a 4 row pattern repeat.  The pictures below show how the Diamonds take shape after each row is added.  Rows 2-5 create the pattern repeats that build the Diamond shapes.

As you can see by the picture below the Argyle Shell Stitch creates the perfect Diamond shapes that come out in the Wrapped in Diamonds Wrap.  The picture below also shows the Edging that I created to surround the beautiful Diamond shapes.

You can use the Argyle Shell Stitch yourself and create a beautiful Wrap,  Blanket, and so much more!  I have a Video Tutorial that has a great example on how to crochet the Argyle Shell Stitch.

To purchase the Wrapped in Diamonds Wrap’s Ad Free PDF Crochet Pattern from Ravelry you can find it here.  While you are there, be sure to check out some of my other crochet designs here.

I LOVE the Argyle Shell Stitch so much that I have designed a lightweight Summer Tee!  The crochet pattern will go into the Testing Phase next month!  If you are interested in Testing the Summer Tee or any of my newest designs, you can join me at Jo’s Crafty Hook Designs Tester Group here!  The Nellie Summer Tee below is in the Testing Phase right now.

Hi, I’m Crystal, the designer and blogger at ChristaCoDesign.com. I love creating easy and beautiful designs for the family. I have 4 little ones so when I’m not crocheting or knitting I’m usually enjoying them.
 The design I’m sharing today was created using tapestry crochet techniques to achieve the heart shapes-photos included to help you along. The Sweetheart Hat comes in 7 sizes-baby though child. Personally I love the gray/green version I made for my son.  I hope you enjoy the pattern and are able to share your Sweetheart Hats with those you love.

Hi!  My name is Sarah from Rich Textures Crochet! Thank you so much for stopping by, and a big thank you to Jo for allowing me to visit today! I was born and raised in Nova Scotia, Canada, but am now residing in Rural Southwestern Ontario.  I am a wife and a mom to four energetic children and an equally energetic border collie.
In crochet I love to play with texture.  I also love to learn new stitches and play with colour, although in my crochet I tend to gravitate to more earthy tones.  My favourite crochet hooks are wooden and I love to work with super bulky weight yarn.
On my blog you’ll find a mix of patterns, from afghans to baby blankets, hats, mitts, scarves and cowls such as the one featured here for Valentines Day.  I’m so glad you stopped by and I look forward to connecting with you on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube! Happy Crocheting!

For the last but not least featured artist for the Blog Hop is Catherine Venner of Crochet Cloudberry.  Below you will meet Cat and find the links to her Hygge Heart Cushion Cover and the discounts she is giving for here pillow cover.  So with out further ado, meet Cat:

My name is Cat and I absolutely love crochet. I picked up a hook for the first time a couple of years ago and have never looked back. With in weeks of learning to crochet, it became an obsession and I started spending every spare minute with a hook and some yarn. Sound familar?

Over time, I started developing my own patterns and ideas of what can be made using crochet techniques. In 2019 I made a new year’s resolution to start my own crochet blog to share tha patterns that I have devised as well as the ideas behind them.

The hygge heart cushion has been inspired by scandi cosiness. As a student I spent the summers living and working in Denmark and so I became familar with the concept of hygge and wanted to bring it into my designs. The Danes frequently use the heart motives in their handicrafts and using self-striping yarn adds to the hygge effect.

For the Valentines promotion – I am submitting to you the Hygge Heart Cushion Cover. I have set up a 20% discount code in Etsy and Ravelry for it. It runs until Feb 16th and starts today. The code is “BEMINE2020”.
You can hop over to Cat’s blog post she wrote about her Hygge Cushion Cover: https://crochetcloudberry.co.uk/crochet-journal/hygge-heart-cushion-cover/
You can also hop on over to Cat’s blog post about this Valentine’s Day Blog Hop: https://crochetcloudberry.co.uk/crochet-journal/valentines-day-blog-hop/ 
I want to thank all of the fiber artists who joined me for my very first blog hop, the Valentine’s Day Blog Hop 2020!  I want to thank you, the readers as well!  Be sure to Hop on over to all the websites listed above so you can crochet their loved designs for your loved ones!
Happy Valentine’s Day and Happy Crocheting!

Wrapped in Love Headband Crochet Pattern

Although I designed the Wrapped in Love Headband Crochet Pattern in mind, it would make a perfect gift for Valentine’s Day or Sweetheart’s Day.  You can crochet this for the ones you love, whether it is a person or an animal, as you can see by the picture below.  lol

Headband with Freya

You can find the free crochet pattern for the Child Size version of the Wrapped in Love Headband below.  I don’t want to take away from the importance of Cancer Awareness.

October is Cancer Awareness Month and the Wrapped in Love Headband Crochet Pattern was designed specifically for Cancer Awareness Month.  There are a number of crochet patterns in the Wrapped In Love Line (see below) that are dedicated to the women in my family who have faced one type of cancer or another and SURVIVED!  I am SO thankful to God for delivering them from this horrible disease!

This post contains affiliate links.  You can make a purchase using these links that I provide where I may receive compensation (at no added cost to you.)  Purchases you make will help keep my website and crochet pattern stores going and provide quality designs just for you!  

As a Scoliosis Survivor, I know some of the struggles cancer patients go through.  I deal with chronic pain, anxiety, depression and more.  Cancer patients may go through these things as well.  Surviving Scoliosis is an ongoing battle, that is why I am so thankful the women in my family battled cancer and survived!

The Wrapped in Love Headband uses the same technique found in the Wrapped in Love Hat and Cowl set crochet patterns that can be found on my website here.  There are a number of Video Tutorials from my YouTube Channel here that do Row by Row with you.  If you would like to receive the FREE PDF version of this pattern you can find it at any of my stores listed below.

Lovecraft
Etsy

You can also find the Summer of Love Tank Top crochet pattern here on my website as well.  The Summer of Love Tank Top uses the same Video Tutorials as the hat, cowl, and headband.  You can find the Video Tutorials at my YouTube channel here as well.

The Wrapped In Love Headband and Summer of Love Tank Top are just some of the crochet patterns you can find in the Wrapped In Love Line.  The Wrapped In Love Headband crochet pattern is another quick  one that those with Scoliosis or chronic pain sufferers or anyone can do because it is a ‘short and sweet’ pattern.  lol  So scroll down and let’s get started!

I designed the Ombre Waves Tank Top around this time last year, but I only offered it in 1 size.  One of my crochet pattern testers said she would LOVE to do the tank top, but I didn’t offer a Small.  I heard the same thing about sizes from others, so I decided to add 5 more sizes to the pattern.  So now YOU can take advantage of these changes as well!

Straps:

Make 4 – 2 on each side

Placing of Stitch Markers:  With (RS) facing you, fold the shirt in ½, making sure the Waves line up correctly and count over 2 Waves from the Left and 2 Waves from the Right.  Find the 3 dc group in the center of the wave and count over 1 stitch and put your stitch marker in that place. This will be where you start the strap.  

Notes:  

You will follow Placing of Stitch Markers 4 times.  2 Straps on the Front of the Tank and 2 Straps on the Back of the Tank. If the Straps are not long enough for your size, feel free to add as many Rows as you need. 

 Once you have completed attaching the Straps, using your Tapestry Needle sew the straps together using the Back Stitch or the Invisible Stitch.  

Use your Tapestry Needle to weave in loose ends and trim off.
