Denis Crochet Deco

“DENIS CROCHET DECO” – PATTERN BY HILARIA FINA

On 3rd December 1967, South African doctor Christiaan Barnard performed world’s first heart transplant in a person. Donor was Denise Darvall, a young clerk aged 25 that died when she was knocked down by a car. Surgery was carried out by a team of twenty surgeons conducted by Barnard and took nine hours. When recipient patient woke up declared to feel better with the new heart.

INSPIRATION + DESIGN

Christmas is right around the corner and, if anything true is that we must wrap presents. This project will give to your packages a special touch, it is an additional present that could be reused as a Christmas deco.

Leftovers  of Merino wool Aran Katia that I’ve used in Flora project were just perfect. On one side, green bottle and maroon are ideal for Christmas. On the other side, yarn softness and thickness gives a smooth and fluffy touch different from the cold cotton, more appropriate for the winter season. 

I timed myself and I can crochet a Denis Heart in about 25 minutes. They are easy going and you can make as many as you want in your spare time.

You only need to use two different stitches to make this design: chain and slip stitch. You just have to crochet slip stitches through the back loops in order to achieve such a texture.
