Heart Sprinkle Stitch – Heartsprinkle

Hi everyone! Today I wanted to share my Heartsprinkle Stitch tutorial. It’s such a fun stitch to make blankets with!

I am working on many tutorials and patterns that uses this stitch! STAY TUNED!

For my blanket I have decided to use all sorts of colors. I wanted to make a rainbow blanket and decided to use Pink, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple. You do not have to use all these colors. You need to at least have two and I suggest that the lighter color should be used for the background and the darker color for the hearts. I was going to use white for my hearts in this rainbow blanket but decided not to because I was not happy with how it looked against certain colors (like yellow). I ended up making multiple swatches before I found the combination of colors I was happy with.

The throw blanket I am working on is 50in wide. It is still in progress. If you’d like to do one in the same size, I started with a Ch 180+2 with a total of 180 stitches on my first row.

[[My progress for my blanket will be updated soon]]

HOW TO DO THE HEARTSPRINKLE STITCH

*This is a sample swatch only so you can learn how to do the stitch but you can make a blanket to any size you’d like*

ABBREVIATIONS:

dc-double crochet

st/sts-stitch/stitches

ch-chain

BL-back loop

SPdc-spike double crochet

SPECIAL NOTES:

This stitch is made in multiples of 6+2. You can make your blanket as big as you’d like as long as you make your stitches in multiples of 6+2.
This stitch has a special stitch called spike stitches. I will be using the term “regular spike stitch” for the stitch used to spike into TWO rows below. And I will be using the term “long spike stitch” for the stitch used to spike THREE rows below.
For every ch 1, skip the next stitch, and work in the next.
When you modify to make it the length you desire, repeat the sequence. Sometimes you end with a partial sequence.
All CH 2 counts as double crochet stitch.

-G/4.00mm or H/5.00mm Crochet Hook
