Hi, Guys, and Welcome to Studio Knit.
Ready to get lucky in love? The charm of the Irish combined with the symbolism of eternal
love results in this really cool Celtic Heart!
I have created this stop-animation clip so you can see the Celtic Heart magically appear
without my hands getting in the way.
Shoelaces are great for this project. If you are a knitter, I suggest making an I-Cord.
I have a detailed tutorial on how to make an I-Cord in the description below. For you
crocheters, a crochet chain works great, too!
In celebration of St. Patricks Day my friend TooTooAmy is also teaching us how to crochet
these adorable Shamrocks. Make sure to check out her easy, fun tutorial and subscribe to
her YouTube Channel. She shares so many great crafting ideas!
So, let's get started. We take our cord and we are going to simply make two loops. Really
easy. We take the right side and just put it on top. Right there, the right goes on
top, and secure it with your thumb. And the second loop, exactly the same. The right side
on top. And just sort of hold it down. Now, this second loop is going to go underneath
the first one. So, just bring it underneath, and half way through. Not all the way through,
just half way. And I will place it down so you can see how they intertwine. Now, with
the right side of your cord, those three areas, we are just going to weave under and up, and
then down, and then the third one is back up. And as far as tying, that's it. Now it's
time to shape, which can be the tricky part. So, we are just going to watch me shape it.
Now, here is a really nice loose, beautiful, you can really see the detail in it. If you?d
like it to be tighter, you just sort of tighten up. You just sort of look and see how the
lines interact, and you just patiently sort of nudge them into place. Oh, very cute! And
you're done!
Your Celtic Heart can be used as decoration or jewelry! You can make a necklace, or you
could put it on a card, you could put it on a coffee cozy... Pretty much whatever you dream
up, it would look really nice.
I hope you have enjoyed learning how to make your very own Celtic Heart. And make sure
to check out TooTooAmy's lesson on how to crochet Shamrocks! Hope you get lucky in love!
Bye!
