The Heartsprinkle Unicorn CAL started on May 7, 2018 and ended on June 17, 2018. But you can join us at any time! It was so exciting to see the amount of people who participated and had fun! Thank you all so much for the support. I’d like to say a special thanks to Sarah Zimmerman from Repeat Crafter Me for sharing my CAL.
JOIN HEARSPRINKLE CAL group on FB to join us on this crochet along! 💕 #heartsprinklecal
IF YOU ARE JOINING LATE…do not worry! You can still do the project. I have provided videos for you to crochet along to. CLICK HERE for the first video which explains the project in detail and also goes over the technique I will be using for this project.
Materials:
This is an estimate on yarn yardage. Every crocheter is different and yarn needed may vary.
If you want to calculate yours you can! I have listed the amount of squares per color in parenthesis. The yardage I provided is an estimate with an additional 5 yards.
Mine is 24” a square. If you crochet tight yours will be shorter.
Length of yarn per square x number of squares divided by 36= the yardage you need for that color.

Do we need to use the exact same colors or can we use different shades? Like pastels and neon?
You can use whatever colors you’d like
http://Tammy
These are 2.5 oz ?
No they are 7oz
http://Jessenia
Is this going to be c2c?
Yes
Is this a good one for beginners?
C2c can be for beginners. The hardest part will be the hearts on here but it’s just a simple color change. I will also have a video available for you to crochet along and I will have tips for you along the way.
http://Ida
Can we do another stitch TSS
You are more ham welcome to use the graph for other stitches. It’s just the cal will be specific to c2c
http://Sherri
Will there be a written pattern?
There will be a row by row written version in my shop. But the videos will also state each square count per row and you’ll be able to crochet along
http://Jessenia%20Gonzalez
Approximately how big is it going to be? Maybe for a twin bed or full size? Sorry for all the questions. I want to do it for my daughter’s bed and I want to get an idea on the size.
Don’t be sorry! The size of the blanket is approximately 40×50 inches. I tried to make it big but also for you to be able to add border or frame to it.

Ive never done a c2c will I be able to follow along?
If you know double crochet and chains you should be able to follow. I will be posting videos every week for you to follow along 😊
I left a comment on the main FB page about the size of skein-I see it comes in 2.5-but I have one here that is 7 oz-which do we need?
Mine are 7 oz🤔
http://Hope%20Taylor
Does me being left handed change anything?
The count should be the same 🤔 I think you’re just going a different direction.
http://Katie
I’m a lefty too. And our picture might come out mirror image. Especially if you follow the written pattern as written by a righty. But that doesn’t make a difference unless there are words. Good luck and we shall see if us lefties have a reverse image when done. 😉
I have talked to other lefties who told me what they wish the pattern was like. So I made a pattern for left handed crocheters. It’s mirrored 😊 thank you so much!
http://Anna
Will this be a free c2c or will there be a fee to participate?
You can join the group and get the graph for free. Participation is free. 💕

Hmmmmm. 70z?hobby lobby sells only 120 yards in a ball.
Click on the color you would like to purchase. And it will show you the correct weight and yardage.
http://Janay
Would the muti colors will mess it up like the Caron cake or barnet pop
Are you talking about for the background? No. I have another blanket going and I’m using Caron chunky cake.
http://April
is there a full graph for those who want to work ahead a bit, so they dont get behind.
The full graph will be available on the last week of the CAL
http://Nancy
Are there written instructions for C2C? I would rather follow a written pattern than a video.
Yes. It’s a paid pattern though. It’s also linked in the blog post
http://Cindy
I would like to start, but I can’t find the link to the graph and beginning instructions for yarn etc. I have been on the CAL Facebook page and your website. I’m sure it is quite obvious, but somehow I am missing it. Can you give me the link?
thank you!
What do you mean? This blog post has all that information on it.

The graph is only week 3. Is there a complete graph for c2c and horizontal?
