Crocheting Cable Hearts

Here is the 12" crochet cabled hearts square that I made as part of a CAL (crochet along).  I used cotton yarn thinking that it could be a dishcloth, however it is way to big for that.  I might use it as a hot pad instead.  Here is the free pattern for it.  Doing a front post stitch around the same stitch twice threw me off at first, and I did have do round 7 twice.  However it is an easy enough pattern.

Yesterday I made this cute little 6" square crochet cabled heart using cotton yarn.  It was easy to make, and will make a nice coaster.  If I crochet a few more rounds of the border, then it could make a dishcloth.  Here is the free pattern for it.

After making 2 crochet cable patterns I'm not sure that I can translate knit cables into crochet cables.  However I do want to try out more of these patterns.  Basically a crochet cable is doing a front post stitch one row below.
