Celtic Heart Garland

I have another FREE and NEW pattern for you – the Celtic Heart Garland!

If you’ve visited my blog before you may have noticed that I LOVE garlands!

I think they are fun to create and see hanging up in your home – they add color, interest and whimsy to any decor!

This garland is a combination of 2 FREE previously posted patterns on this blog – the Heartfelt Prayer Square and the Celtic Knot Heart (click on the names of each to see those posts and patterns).

Each heart works up quickly and I LOVE how they look when put together in this garland project.

Read on below to see how to make your own – There are even several video tutorials to help you with many steps along the way!

Let’s get started!

Skill Level: Easy

Measurements:

Each heart is about 3″ x 3″ – The total length of the garland depends on how closely you place the hearts to each other – My two versions (see photos below) are about 32″ and 42″ long

**UPDATE: Now you can purchase this pattern as an ad-free large-print instant download from my Etsy Shop here! **

Red Heart Super Saver Metallic in Red (1 skein)

Red Heart Super Saver White

F/3.75mm crochet hook

Tapestry needle

Knot Weaving Supplies (Explained on blog post for Celtic Knot Heart here)

Various beads (I used a combination of wooden, plastic and metal beads for my garlands)

Hot glue gun and glue sticks

Notes:

3 white hearts and 4 celtic hearts are crocheted and then either joined together with beads or glued to a long chain length with beads strung on in between

For my red, pink and white (longer) garland I used some sparkly yarn from my stash that is no longer available but since this project uses a very small amount of yarn, perhaps you have some yarn in your stash that you’ve been saving for a special project like this!

For my red and white garland I chose to not add the sl st edgng to the Celtic Knot Hearts

For my other garland (red, pink and white) I added the sl st edging with a sparkly variegated yarn – it gives it a neat effect

Finishing and Assembly:

I used two different methods of assembly for my garlands

For the red and white garland I found some large round metal beads (about an inch in diameter) and thread them on about 6″ lengths of yarn

I laid the completed hearts out on my work surface and then turned them over so they were Right Side down

Then I sewed each bead between the hearts using the yarn ends and my tapestry needle making sure to knot the ends well and weave in the ends

For the ends of the garland I added beads as well but used a longer yarn length so the garland can be easily hung

For the red, white and pink garland I first chained a long length (approximately 60″) with the matching red yarn

Then I glued one white heart onto the center of the chain (using a hot glue gun)

I worked out from the center on the left and right by repeating this pattern: tying a knot in the chain, adding 3 beads, tying another knot and then gluing on another heart

Tada! Your Celtic Heart Garland is complete!

How did yours turn out? I LOVE how mine turned out and I am enjoying having them up in our home.
