C2C Hearts

Hopefully you saw the C2C table runner from Repeat Crafter Me.  I loved it so much I made two of them!  They were a simple and fun project, if you like C2C. Prior to the table runner project I had never done C2C and was not sure about it.  Luckily the Crochet Crowd put together and awesome tutorial on how to C2C.  It is very comprehensive and explains very well all the technique and tricks you need as you C2C.

With all of this talk
of C2C, you have to know what happened while I was working on the table runner.  The project I had finished just prior to the table runner was an awesome special order Messy Bun Beanie from my Etsy Shop.  The colors requested were coral, white, and gray.  I loved the color combo and thought it would be an awesome baby afghan color scheme.  So that thought was rolling around in the back of my head while I was working on the table runner.  Then it hits me: use C2C and hearts to creat the baby afghan I had on the brain.  The table runner has four hearts and would be too long for a baby size afghan, so I had to experiment with the second table runner to test length.  That is the real reason I made the second table runner.  I loved the length and it was just right for a baby sized project.  

Here is the idea for the baby afghan:  three panels of hearts using the coral, white, and gray color scheme.  I am kind of old school when it comes to working with graphs, so graph paper it was.  I literally colored in boxes to create the graph for the C2C and then created the digital version.
Sadly I have not had the time to test the graph yet, so please feel free to give it a go and tell me what you think.  Watch for an edit to this post with the completed project.  It is on the list when I have other proje
cts completed.
