Pattern Notes:
I saw a basic picture of this piece, but the site to which it is associated is no longer active. So after hours of searching the web for a pattern—to no avail—I spent another number of hours crocheting and writing my own pattern. Then, crocheting and revising it to include picot pearl edging, and to use either an 8st- or 12st-shell for the heart bumps. Once I completed the first sample to my liking (8st-shell), I was able to follow these instructions again using the 12st-shell. Except this time, I used two different colors of yarn. Steps 1-4 are the same for both the 8st- and 12st-shell potholder.
