Cute Little Amigurumi Heart Pattern. This pattern describes how to crochet a small, three-dimensional heart, perfect for various decorative uses like pendants, earrings, pins, keychains, or charms, especially around Valentine’s Day. The heart is constructed by making two top rounded halves separately, joining them, and then decreasing to form the point. It uses red cotton yarn and is stuffed to create an amigurumi style heart.
Skill Level: Intermediate
Sizes: One size.
Finished Measurements: Not specified in the pattern. (Size will depend on yarn and hook choice).
Materials Used:
- Yarn: Red Cotton Yarn (specific brand/weight not mentioned, but likely fingering or sport based on hook size)
- Crochet Hook: 2.25 mm
- Notions:
- Soft stuffing (fiberfill)
- Tapestry needle
- Scissors
Gauge: Gauge is not specified in the pattern. Consistent tension is important to create a dense fabric so the stuffing does not show through.
Stitch Guide:
- sc2tog (Single Crochet Decrease): Insert hook into the next stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop. Insert hook into the following stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop. Yarn over and pull through all three loops on the hook. (This makes one decrease).
Pattern Notes:
- Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of the round after joining the halves, moving it up each round.
- This pattern uses US crochet terminology.
- The heart begins with making two separate top halves (Top A and Top B) using a magic ring and working in continuous spirals.
- The two halves are then joined together in Round 4, and the rest of the heart is worked in continuous spirals from that point.
- A yarn tail from one of the top halves is used later to help shape the indent at the top of the heart.
- Stuff the heart firmly before the opening becomes too small.
