Crochet pattern — "A loving thought" "A loving thought" is a year-round pattern. Whether it's for your Valentine, a just-because gift, a get-well gift, a Pride gift, a birthday gift, a Christmas gift, or something entirely different. These are designed to create joy and love all year round for any imaginable event or reason. The pattern includes instructions for a heart, a rainbow, and a rose. Feel free to check out my other "White figures", which suit various events throughout the year. Info: Generally for my patterns, the hook size can be changed to fit your own gauge. When using a different hook size than specified, there may be size variations compared to my figures, but this is of little importance as long as you are consistent in your choices.
