Instructions:

Granny Square Motif

With hook 1/2.75 mm and cotton crochet thread size 3 in white,

Ch 5, join with Sl St to form a ring.

Rnd 1. Ch 5 (counts as first DC and 2-Ch sp, now and throughout), [3 DC in ring, Ch 2] 3 times, 2 DC in ring, join with Sl St to 3^rd Ch of Ch 5 in the beginning – 12 DC.

Rnd 2. Sl St in next Ch, Ch 5, 2 DC in Ch-2 sp, DC in each of next 3 Sts, [(2 DC, Ch 2, 2 DC) in next Ch-2 sp, DC in each of next 3 Sts] 3 times, DC in sp before Ch 5,  join with Sl St to 3^rd Ch of Ch 5 – 28 DC and 4 Ch-2 sps.

Rnd 3. Sl St in next Ch, Ch 5, 2 DC in Ch-2 sp, DC in each of next 7 Sts, [(2 DC, Ch 2, 2 DC) in next Ch-2 sp, DC in each of next 7 Sts] 3 times, DC in sp before Ch 5,  join with Sl St to 3^rd Ch of Ch 5 – 44 DC and 4 Ch-2 sps.

Rnd 4. Sl St in next Ch, Ch 5, 2 DC in Ch-2 sp, DC in each of next 11 Sts, [(2 DC, Ch 2, 2 DC) in next Ch-2 sp, DC in each of next 11 Sts] 3 times, DC in sp before Ch 5,  join with Sl St to 3^rd Ch of Ch – 60 DC and 4 Ch-2 sps.

Fold three corners to the center and sew them together (I sewed only corners, not the sides).  This will create a small, unsealed envelope.

Blocking

If you used 100% cotton thread, you can use an iron to block your envelope. (Do not use an iron if you used acrylic yarn – it will melt!) Place a slightly damp cloth on top of your crocheted envelope. Lightly press the cloth with a hot iron.

Heart for the Envelope Seal

Use crochet hook 6/1.8 mm and crochet cotton thread size 10 in red.

Instructions for the heart can be found in this post (follow the instructions for the medium size heart): Crochet Hearts in 3 Sizes.

Heart Balloon – make 3

Use crochet hook 6/1.8 mm and crochet cotton thread size 10 in red and cream.

Instructions for the heart balloon can be found in this post: Crochet Heart Balloon Pattern

Small Heart for the envelope with hearts popping out of it

Use crochet hook 6/1.8 mm and crochet cotton thread size 10 in red.

Instructions for the heart can be found in this post (follow the instructions for the small size heart): Crochet Hearts in 3 Sizes.
