✅ Materials:
-
Worsted weight yarn (any color you like)
-
Crochet hook (usually size 3.5 mm – 4 mm for worsted yarn)
-
Yarn needle
-
Scissors
-
Keychain ring
-
A bit of polyfill (optional, if you want a puffy heart)
🧷 Abbreviations (US terms):
-
ch = chain
-
sc = single crochet
-
dc = double crochet
-
sl st = slip stitch
-
tr = treble crochet
❤️ Pattern – Make 2 Hearts:
Start with a magic ring (or ch 4 and join with sl st to form a ring)
-
Ch 3 (counts as dc), then work all into the ring:
-
3 tr, 3 dc, 1 ch, 1 tr (this makes the point of the heart),
-
3 dc, 3 tr, ch 3, sl st into ring.
🎉 Boom! You’ve made one side of the heart. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.
🔁 Make two of these if you want a 3D, stuffed heart.
🧷 Assembly:

Place the two hearts together (wrong sides facing).
-
Use the yarn needle to sew around the edge with a whip stitch or sc around with your hook.
