The Chakra Heart Doily: A True Story

🧶The Chakra Heart Doily: A True Story

It's not a long story really. I was asked by a follower named Nancy to design a heart. So using some interesting techniques and different sized threads I made up the Nancy Heart.

I loved this heart so much I wanted to make them in all the colors. I had just finished the Chakra Wall Hanging ૐ and wanted to do hearts to represent the 7 Chakras.

Mr. King walked in while I was lining up a whole bunch of newly stiffened hearts & said, "you should make these into a doily."

When Mr. King has a crochet idea...I always jump on it. 😉

I had to make all new hearts, because the ones I had were stiff. I also used the last row of the hearts to start the doily process. Once I had a "ring of hearts" I could crochet a good edge. If you look carefully, it's pretty simple, but there is a lot of counting.

Then I made a center. I used different doily ideas to create hearts in the middle.

I think this is the only doily I do that goes outside in! (kinda 😃)

I offer both the pattern & the finished doily. Win-win!
