After many requests I have finally written and tested the straight granny hearts

Materials
1000 metres/1095 yards of DK/8ply yarn
(this will work with most yarns and the appropriate hook for the chosen yarn)
H/8-5.00 mm hook
Needle for sewing in ends
US Terms used
Chain = Ch
Double crochet =Dc
Foundation single crochet = fsc
3 double crochet together over the next 3 stitches = dc3tog
5 double crochet together over the next 5 stitches = dc5tog
Gauge is not important for this pattern
Use the recommended hook for the yarn you are using
Notes: you will turn your work after each row
Chain stitches are always counted
Stitches in ** are repeated
Stitches in () are the stitch count
Stitches in {} are the heart stitches
Ch 3 at the start of every row counts as a double crochet
This blanket is worked from the top down, the colour you start with will be at the top of the blanket
