HOW TO CROCHET A HEART

SKILL LEVEL

Beginner/Easy

ABBREVIATION

ch – chain
sc – single crochet
st – stitch
sts – stitches
slst – slip stitch

MATERIALS

Stitch Marker
I used worsted weight yarn – but this design will work great with any size yarn as long as you use the correct hook size for the weight of the yarn.
Tapestry Needle

YOUR CHOICE OF HOOK

Using 4.00 mm hook heart will measure 4″ across widest part
Using 5.00 mm hook heart will measure 4 1/2″ across widest part
Using 6.00 mm hook heart will measure 5″ across widest part

CROCHET HEART INSTRUCTIONS

Notes: This heart will be worked in rounds.  The beginning round will be worked across the top of the beginning chain and then around the bottom – creating your 1st round.

Use stitch markers to mark the beginning of each round.  This is a must for beginners!

Stitches in brackets eg (sc, ch 2, sc) are all worked in one stitch.

Using hook of your choice:

Ch 15  Be sure to keep stitches loose otherwise it will be difficult to work round 1.

Rnd 1

3 sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next 5 ch, skip next 2 ch (place stitch marker to mark ch 2 space), sc in next 5 ch, 3 sc in last ch.

  Turn work so that you are now working in the bottom loops of beginning chain.  

Sc in 1st 5 sts, (sc, ch 2, sc) in ch 2 space, sc in last 5 sts. (30)

Rnd 2

You will now be at the very first stitch of round 1 as indicated by your stitch marker.

2 sc in 1st 3 sts, sc in next 4 sts, skip next 2 sts.  Sc in next 4 sts, 2 sc in next 3 sts.

Sc in next 6 sts, (sc, ch 2, sc) in ch 2 space.   Sc in last 6 sts (36)

Rnd 3

2 sc in next 6 sts, sc next 3 sts, skip 2 sts.  Sc next 3 sts, 2sc next 6 sts.

Sc next 7 sts, (sc, ch 2, sc) (Place stitch marker in ch 2 space) Sc last 7 sts. (48)

Rnd 4

Sc in 1st 6 sts, 2 sc in next 2 sts.  Sc next 6 sts, skip next 2 sts.  Sc in next 6 sts, 2 sc in next 2 sts.

Sc in next 14 sts, (sc, ch 3, sc) in ch 2 space. Sc in last 9 sts.   (53)

Tips for beginner crocheters!  Watch the video all the way through a few times so that you know what to expect.

I hope you all have great success with the heart pattern.  Be sure to comment below let me know how yours turned out and be sure to tag my on Instagram @prettydarnadorable hashtag #pdamaker.
