Adorable Heart Crochet Pattern—Free!
Crocheting hearts is so much fun to do! You can use them for many projects: sew 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; the second heart is a bit bigger, so try them both to see which one fits your project best. 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.

Magic Ring
The Magic Ring (or Adjustable Ring) is used when crocheting in rounds. The advantages of using the Magic Ring is that once tightened, it leaves no hole in the center of your work.
Check the video's below to see how you make a magic ring.
On the first video, you can see how you make a magic ring if you are right handed.
