There are 3 different sizes for preemies based on weight; small preemies from 2 to 3 pounds, preemies up 4 pounds and preemies up to 5 pounds. Also, added a size chart as a guide for baby booties when crocheting baby booties and shoes.
Just added written instructions for the large and extra large size crochet heart appliques. The large size crochet heart has 4 rounds. Then you just need to add one more round (round 5) to make the heart larger for the extra large size crochet heart.

The written instructions will be right under the video tutorial for the Large and Extra Large Crochet Heart Appliques.

This is for the medium size crochet heart, that has 3 rounds. If you would like to see the written pattern, just click on patterns from the menu on this website and then click on crochet appliques.
Just added written instructions for 3 different size crochet heart appliques. You can also view the video tutorial right on the same page that you will find the written instructions for the heart appliques. The heart appliques in the tutorials were made with 4 ply acrylic yarn. You can also use crochet thread to make the hearts, you will just want to use a smaller crochet hook. You can also use jute twine or fabric strips to make the hearts, you will just want to use a larger crochet hook.
You can make the hearts smaller or larger just by changing your crochet hook to a different size, instead of the size I used in the patterns and tutorials.
Hope you enjoy making lots of crochet heart appliques and would love to hear what project you will use it for.

Tulle has become very popular to use to make the greatest dish scrubbies. After you start making dish scrubbies with tulle, you most likely will never buy another sponge. Since, I have started making dish scrubbies, I have never purchased another sponge. These tulle dish scrubbies are not only pretty with all of the beautiful colors and patterns. They are fun to make , very effective at cleaning your dishes, easy to clean and make great gifts.
The dish scrubbies can be used over and over again until they fall apart. You can even wash your dish scrubbies in the washing machine. No need to put the scrubbies in the clothes dryer, they air dry very quickly. You can even wash them in the top rack of your dishwasher.
If you want to make a more abrasive heavy duty scrubby, then you can use nylon netting instead of tulle. The tutorials below will work with tulle or nylon netting.
There is poiyester tulle and nylon tulle. The polyester tulle is much softer and not as abrasive as nylon tulle. Polyester tulle is soft and pliable and feels more like fabric, this is the type of tulle that is usually used to make clothing or tutus. You can use polyester tulle to make dish scrubbies, they will just be less abrasive than the scrubbies made with nylon.
When I make dish scrubbies for gifts, I like to make a set that has a dish scrubby using the polyester tulle, one with nylon tulle and one with nylon netting. This way they will have a dish scrubby for all cleaning needs. The polyester scrubby can be used for more delicate dishes, light duty cleaning ( I would not recommend using on dishes made of fine china). Then the nylon tulle scrubby can be used for medium duty cleaning and then the scrubby made with netting can be used for heavy duty scrubbing like pot and pans, of course I would not recommend using them on non stick coated pans.
