Free heart pattern

Free pattern time!!


There are a lot of heart patterns out there so I thought I'd add to the collection and give a way this free heart pattern. it is a 3d heart and you can do many ting with them. I've made a heart garland, used them for gift wrapping instead of using a bow I attached a heart.

To make these hearts  I used a 2.5mm hook and cotton yarn. if you use a bigger hook and different yarn of course the size and the shape of the heart will be different.


UK crochet terms

dc - double crochet
dec - decrease stitch
ss - slip stitch


Start by 6dc in to a magic circle.
2dc in each stitch
dc all the way around twice

fasten off and made one more

hold both side by side and join with one dc stitch then dc all the way around both circles making them into one round.

5dc, dec, 10dc, dec, 5dc
4dc, dec, 9dc, dec, 5dc,
4dc, dec, 8dc, 4dc,

at this point I added a little stuffing and then every couple of rows added more and remember to completely stuff it before you close the hole in the last rounds.

4dc, dec, 7dc, dec, 3dc,
3dc, dec, 6dc, dec, 3dc,
3dc, dec, 5dc, dec, 2dc,
2dc, dec, 4dc, dec, 2dc,
stuff more
2dc, dec, 3dc, dec, 1dc
1dc, dec, ss

Leave a long strand to finish off the heart with an embroidery needle.

If you have a hole where the two parts joined at the beginning then use the needle to close this hole now.


Have fun heart making. Feel free to let me know how your hearts have turned out or if you have trouble with any part of the pattern.
