Crochet Reversible Heart Square
Want to know where this crochet reversible heart square comes from? You are probably familiar with Red Heart Yarns. Their social media manager (she posts to Facebook, Instagram, etc.) recently got married. About 25 designers created crochet squares that were then put together into one big blanket as a wedding gift to her.
And this is my contribution to that blanket! It’s called the Reversible Heart Square. This is a nice, simple, 12-inch square made of all single crochet stitches. It’s a good way to practice following a graph or chart.
What is Intarsia Crochet?
Now, the techniques used in this square can apply to making any other crochet item, such as a picture afghan. And those blankets are sometimes called a graphghan (graph + afghan). Although there isn’t a formal word for working with blocks of color in crochet, it is very similar to intarsia knitting. Therefore we’ll call the overall technique used in this block intarsia crochet.

Before you download this chart and pattern, please note the chart is symmetrical. That means it contains the same stitches on the right side as the left side. For example, Row 19 starts and ends with 2 brown stitches.
You can be a right-handed crocheter and read the chart from right to left for row one, then left to right for row two. Or you can be a left-handed crocheter and read the chart starting from left to right. Or can you read every line starting from just the right side. Or you can read every line starting from just the left side. All four scenarios will make the heart turn out as shown in the photo and videos.
It is designed with these safeguards built in so you can focus on perfecting the color changes.
