Learn to Crochet a Little Heart and a Big Heart

Crocheting hearts is so much fun to do! You can use them for many projects, like sewing them on amigurumi, hats, scarves, or any other crocheted project. They also make a nice keychain if you make a little strap for them.

The included diagram makes it easy to crochet these cute hearts with any yarn! The first heart is tiny, and the second heart is a bit bigger. Try them both to see which one fits your project best.

Needed Skills: Magic Ring

To crochet these hearts, you start with a magic ring. If you have never created a magic ring before, please check the video underneath the two heart crochet patterns on this page.

Materials

• Yarn: You can use any yarn to make these hearts.
• Crochet hook: Please check the label on the yarn to see which hook size you should use.
• Scissors
• Optional: Tapestry needles with blunt point

For reference, I used Catania cotton and a 2.5 mm crochet hook to make these hearts.

Abbreviations

• Rnd: Round
• st: stitch
• sc: single crochet
• sl st: slip stitch
• hdc: half double crochet
• dc: double crochet

Small Heart Pattern

Create a magic ring.

Rnd 1: sc, 3 dc, 2 sc, 1hdc, 2sc, 3 hdc

Fasten off with a slip stitch into the first sc off round 1.

Sew the yarn through the middle of the front side of the heart.

Tip: The heart is very small, so shape it a bit with your fingers.

Use the remaining yarn to sew the heart on a project.

Big Heart Pattern

Create a magic ring.

Rnd 1: start 8 sc in a magic ring, slip stitch into the first sc (8)

Rnd 2: Skip first st, 5 dc in next st, hdc in the next 2 st, hdc + dc + hdc in the next st, hdc in next 2 sc, 5sc in next st, slipstitch into last slipstitch

Sew the yarn through the middle of the front side of the heart.

Use the remaining yarn to sew the heart on a project.

What Is a Magic Ring?

The Magic Ring (or Adjustable Ring) is used when crocheting in rounds. The advantage of using the Magic Ring is that, once tightened, it leaves no hole in the center of your work.

Video Tutorials

Check the videos below to see how you make a magic ring.

• In the first video, you can see how you make a magic ring if you are right-handed.
• The second video was made for left-handed crocheters.

You can sew your hearts on many crocheted or knitted projects. If you use sewing thread, you could also sew them on fabric!
