Hugs & Kisses = Heart Amigurumi

In this age of emoji. I came up with this idea to make an amigurumi heart. A simple X means hug + an O which means a kiss = to love (heart). So feel free to follow along and make one for yourself.

- 2 color yarn (depends on preferred color)

- 2 mm crochet hook

- stitch marker

- scissor

- yarn needle

First, make a magic circle loop. Then, single crochet (sc) into the circle up to 6. After that, pull the 2 each string of a circle to make the stitch form a tight circle. When the string is tightened make a 2 single crochet (sc) in every 6 loops of a circle going to have a 12 single crochet (sc) total. Next, make a 12 single crochet (sc) again in order to make a circle slightly curve. For 4th round, make a 1 single crochet (sc) in the first loop then 2 single crochet (sc) in the 2nd loop, repeat the stitch (1 sc in the 1st one) then (2 sc in the 2nd one) going to have a total of 18 single crochet. For the 5th round, make a 1 sc in the 1st and 2 loops and 2 single crochet in the 3rd loop and repeat the stitch pattern 1sc, 1sc, 2sc going to have a total of 24 single crochet. For the 6th round, just make 24 single crochet (sc) in every loop around the circle to make it curve again. Then cut the string and make another one and repeat the pattern. After made another one, join these 2 circles together. In joining these, make sure that the last circle thread that made was not cut. Start to single crochet up to 19sc. Since the last stitch is 24sc it will be going leave a 5 loop and skip those loop and to another one also then, start to single crochet it to join.

After joining the two circle curve, start to stitch it using the tail end of the string. Stitch it to the two 5 remaining loops to fully join together. Then continue to single crochet (sc) again around circle up to 19.
