The puzzle combines my wife's job of navigating to caches and her love of crocheting while I hunt around in the mud for the prize.
Solve this puzzle by counting the number of stitches in each round of the pattern for a small crochet heart.
Note the number of stitches in each round then input into the coordinates below.
Create a magic ring and chain 2...
Rnd 1: (3 tr, 4 dc, 1 tr, 4 dc, 3 tr) into magic ring. Pull the magic ring mostly closed, leaving a small space in the middle, ch 2 (ch2 does not count as stitches) 1 sl st into the remaining hole in the magic ring. Pull the magic ring tightly closed.
(Note: do not turn work, continue working anti-clockwise (clockwise for left-handers) around the heart, working into the stitches of Rnd 1, and starting by working into the ch-sp formed by the ch 2 you made after the magic ring.)
Rnd 2: 1 sc in ch-sp, 2 hdc in next st, 3 hdc in next st, 2 hdc in next st, 1 hdc, 1 hdc, 1 hdc, 2 hdc in next st, (1 hdc, 1 dc, 1 hdc) in next st, 2 hdc in next st, 1 hdc, 1 hdc, 1 hdc, 2 hdc in next st, 3 hdc in next st, 2 hdc in next st, (1 sc, 1 sl st) in ch-sp.
Rnd 3: 1 sc in next st, 1 sc in next st, 1 sc in next st, 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next st, 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next st, 2 sc in next st, sc in next 6 st, 3 sc in next st, sc in next 6 st, 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next st, 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next st, 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 2 st. Join with 1 sl st into first st.
Number of stitches in Rnd 1 = A
Number of stitches in Rnd 2 = B
Number of stitches in Rnd 3 = C
N55 5(B/6).(A/2)(A/8)((B/15)x2), W004 (C-30).((C/3)-12)(B/5)(A-15)
There are 2 completed crochet heart brooches in the cache for the FTF and STF :) Remeber a pencil!
We'd love to see a photo if anyone follows the pattern to create the crochet heart.
Well done to WoodyTeam FTF!
