Many Hearts Baby Throw
This baby blanket is the small version of “Many Hearts Throw“. Use interlocking crochet or overlay mosaic crochet as you create an heirloom for the little one!
This blanket features my nested little hearts in the main body (I call that design ‘many hearts‘) with a squiggle border and my small square, Heart Wallpaper 20 in the corners.
Interlocking & Mosaic
This baby blanket, like all my designers, comes with the fully written pattern and charts for both interlocking crochet and overlay mosaic crochet.

Bundles
Many Hearts Baby Throw is included in my Hearts, Hearts, Hearts eBook. This bundle has 16 patterns with hearts as the main theme.

Many Hearts Baby Throw
Many moons ago (that’s a funny saying, isn’t it?) I came out with an eBook called “Hearts, Hearts, Hearts” and I put an assortment of squares of different sizes and designs in it. The largest pattern in the eBook was my “Many Hearts Throw“.
By request, I have now created a baby-blanket-size version of this throw.
The original throw is 70″ square and the new baby blanket is 38″ square. You can see that the corners are the same but the repeated hearts section inside is smaller.

An anonymous crocheter gave me permission to use her Many Hearts Throw photo. You can see the size difference between this one and the baby blanket.
Wrong side, interlocking crochet
I used the interlocking crochet technique for my sample because I like the way the back looks. The pattern is also written up for the overlay mosaic crochet technique.
Overlay mosaic crochet produces stripes on the wrong side but interlocking crochet shows these hearts pointing the other direction.
This lavender purple is being used as my main color (MC) in the pattern. Most of my patterns use the darker color as the first color used, or the Main Color in the pattern.
Video
I made a super fun little video clip because Etsy tells me people like to see videos and Instagram’s algorithms are really pushing for us to use videos instead of photos, so here’s my attempt at fitting in.
It was actually an accident that I started recording a video. I meant to press the button to capture a photo and somehow I bumped the thing that changed it to a video instead and that’s when I remembered that I need to try using videos anyway.
This is not the kind of video I consider to be award-winning. It’s just to meet algorithm madness and try to get better organic reach. I don’t pay for ads or subscribers, I prefer to keep my followers as a list of people who actually want to see my stuff.
New Pattern or Just a Variation?
I spent a lot of time debating internally whether this pattern deserved its own Ravelry listing or if it should just be added to the Many Hearts Throw as a size difference.
I ultimately decided that since the various sizes of “Many Hearts” all have their own listings then this blanket can have its own as well.
Permanent Promotion
I have turned on a permanent promotion that allows you to get this baby blanket free if you’ve purchased the larger throw blanket on Ravelry.
Valid on Ravelry only, no end date.
On Etsy I’ve added the baby blanket pattern into the big blanket listing to replicate the permanent promotion I created on Ravelry.
Hearts, Hearts, Hearts eBook Update
And, of course, I have added Many Hearts Baby Blanket as a late addition to the “Hearts, Hearts, Hearts” eBook so if you already have that eBook then you will now have this new baby blanket as well.
I didn’t have all of these patterns listed on Etsy previously so that’s a new thing here too.
This eBook has also *finally* been updated to include the x-marked charts for mosaic crochet.
There are 15 16 patterns in the Hearts eBook and while I’ve been busy updating all my patterns I did leave the “hard” tasks for last. The eBooks just feel like so much more work than the individual patterns. I still need to update the Alphabet eBooks (Sophisticated & Monogrammed) and the Holiday eBook. Updated – all have been updated now!
Tutorials
I don’t want anyone to feel like they can’t crochet my patterns. I’ve created many tutorials to help you along!
Heart Tutorial
A side note: the smallest square in my Hearts eBook, “Tutorial Hearts“, is the one I used in my videos to teach the interlocking crochet method (Locked Filet Mesh / LFM) and overlay mosaic crochet method!

Many Hearts Throw
You’re not seeing double. This is the original, large blanket featuring my nested little hearts in the main body (‘many hearts‘) with a squiggle border and my small square, Heart Wallpaper 20 in the corners.
“Many Hearts Baby Throw” was created many months after this original large blanket but I didn’t have a website back then, so the blanket didn’t get it’s own post.
Interlocking & Mosaic
Once again, this design comes with the fully written pattern and charts for both interlocking crochet and overlay mosaic crochet.
