♡ MY COLORWORK INSTRUCTIONS ♡
this project must be done in HDC & 1 graph square = 1 HDC
even numbered rows will be the wrong side if you are right handed
odd numbered rows will be the wrong side if you are left handed
must start on an odd row as written; read the graph from right to left on odd rows, and left to right on even rows
if you make the graphic into a plain tapestry, I would suggest a starting chain of 6 more than the graph to leave 3 on each side, plus one turning chain each row; I would suggest starting graph on row 3 and working two blank rows after the graph is completed
start in red with a chain 2, turn, turning chains do not count as stitches
R = red, W= white; working in hdc
row 1: increase into the 1st chain (2) chain 1, turn
row 2: increase across (4) chain 1, turn
row 3: R-increase, W-2 hdc, R-increase (6) chain 1, turn
row 4: R-increase, 2 hdc, W-1 hdc, R-1 hdc, increase (8) chain 1, turn
row 5: R-increase, W-2 hdc, R-2 hdc, W-2 hdc, R-increase (10) chain 1, turn
row 6: R-increase, W-1 hdc, R-1 hdc, W-1 hdc, R-1 hdc, W-1 hdc, R- 1 hdc, W-1 hdc, R- 1 hdc, increase (12) chain 1, turn
row 7: R-increase, 1 hdc, W-1 hdc, R-2 hdc, W-1 hdc, R-3 hdc, W-1 hdc, R-1 hdc, increase (14) chain 1, turn
row 8: R-1 hdc, W-4 hdc, R-9 hdc (14) chain 1, turn
row 9a: R-6 hdc (6) chain 1, turn
row 10a: R-decrease, 2 hdc, decrease (4)
fasten off; orient your piece back to where the front is facing you, pull up a loop in red in the 6th stitch from the left, working into that same stitch
row 9b: R-2 hdc, W-1 hdc, R-3 hdc (6) chain 1, turn
row 10b: R-decrease, 2 hdc, decrease (4)
fasten off, weave in ends; make another identical (or plain) heart and hold them back to back to attach, pull up a loop in yellow at the notch in the top of the hearts, work a slip stitch into every stitch & the side of every row around
when you get back to the top, slip stitch to close, then chain enough to loop around your pets collar (about 20-30 chains) or twice the circumference of their neck to loop it around without a collar ♡
