These are very difficult times we are living, unprecedented even. I know a lot of you are afraid, confused and may find yourself in very stressful situations. And I’m so sorry. Many are in isolation, dealing with the loss of loved ones or in fear of losing family members. This pandemic has affected us all and at this moment it’s hard to imagine that the world will ever be the same. But at times like these, we are reminded that we are all connected, that we live in a global community. For better and for worse. We have now seen the worst and so let’s try and fortify the best.
Most of us thankfully have the internet to communicate with friends and loved ones throughout the world, that is something to be thankful for and cherish. We can also find and send strength within our online community of crocheters. As a small act of solidarity, I designed this little crochet motif to share with my fellow crocheters around the world. The idea came from my friend Jeni Ahern, who suggested I designed a pattern with the little heart I had made for my Mosaic Alphabet pattern. We need to spread love, she said. And I couldn’t agree more.
So, here you have the Hope motif. The inspiration was hearts around the world and unity. The little circle in the middle represents the world, which is then surrounded with little hearts. I hope you all stay safe, please stay at home and let’s all try to show our unity in action. We must remember to be thankful for all the little things in life. Like the fact that at least we can keep our hands and minds busy with yarn, creativity and crochet.
Please don’t lose hope, this too shall pass.
Keep calm and crochet on.

Thank you for this!! I am a hospice nurse and can not even begin to count how many patients we have had due from Covid 19. At time this pandemic is so overwhelming and I have thought about changing careers but I know this is where I’m supposed to be. Crochet is how I deal with my stress! So again thank you for this!!

I didn't see yet the rest of your video, but just for the first 2 minutes I put the like and I want to write the comment. Yes, this is a difficult time for all the world and I strongly believe that the human being is capable to show compassion to others in this awful time and the work of people like you, with all the generosity of sharing your amazing work, demonstrates how powerful is the human heart. Thank you Tinna for your kindness and your generosity. Thank God my family is safe but I saw all the misery around the world and it touches my heart. I would like to send all my love to the humanity. Kisses from Uruguay... to you and the rest of the world! (now I will see your granny :D )

This is the first tutorial video I have ever watched fully through and hooked along with-- I have been crocheting for 32 years and I always use a written pattern as videos are tedious and I don't learn well from them. This one, however, was so smooth and to the point. Beautiful square, absolutely lovely pattern! I made mine in coral pink & sage green on cotton for a trivet. Thank you so much for this amazing pattern & tutorial!
