Special Stitch How-To

Cinch Circle – cross yarn to make a loop, pass hook through loop from front to back, hook yarn 

and bring it back through loop to pull up a loop on your hook; chain 1. This will make, and secure, 

the circle. Work all successive stitches into circle over top of the shorter tail. When finished the 

first row of stitches, pull the shorter tail to cinch the circle shut.

Pattern

R1: make a cinch circle, 8 sc into circle, cinch shut, join with a sl st to first sc (8). Do not cinch shut. 

Leave your short tail out, you will need it.

R2: ch 2, 4 dc into the first st, hdc into the next 2 sts, sc into the next st, ch2, sc into the next st, hdc 

into the next 2 sts, 4 dc into the last st, ch 2, sl st into the joining st of row 1. Take the loop off your 

hook and pull it through the middle of the heart to the back. Fasten off. Pull the original tail 

tightly to close the hole and knot both ends together. Fasten off and weave in ends.
