Crochet Heart #1 (small)

Hi guys! =)

In today's Instructable, I wanna share with you the pattern to make a basic Crochet heart.

This project is really easy and fast to make, and as a plus, it doesn't need a lot of yarn, so you can use some leftovers that you might have.

Keep having an amazing day and... let's begin! =D

P.S.

Don't forget to watch the video tutorial for tips and step by step instructions ^_^

Materials

- Crochet Hook (D-3)

- Yarn (sport weight yarn)

- Scissors (small)

- Tapestry needle (pointless)

Gauge (stitch Measurement)

The heart that you saw at the beginning of the tutorial, was 1.2 inches long and wide. In my case, I used a D3 hook and a sport weight yarn.

If you use this type of hook and yarn, in 2 inches you should have 9 stitches.

2" = 9 stitches

Pattern/ Chart

In a magic ring, we’re going to work one chain stitch*.

FIRST HALF:

- One Double Crochet

- One Half Treble Crochet

- Two Double Crochet

- Three Half Double Crochet

- One Double Crochet and a chain stitch to finish the first half.

SECOND HALF:

- One Double Crochet

- Three Half Double Crochet

-Two Double Crochet

-One Half Treble Crochet

- One Double Crochet

- Two chain stitches and a slip stitch to finish.

* As you can see in the chart, we need two chain stitches at the beginning, but we only make one because when we finished the magic ring, we already have one chain on it (which is used to secure the ring).

Step by Step: FIRST HALF
