Valentine’s Day Crochet Heart Pattern Instructions
Making the Hearts (Make 6)
Starting the First Half:
Make a magic ring.
- R1: 6 sc inside of magic ring.
- R2: 6 inc = 12 sc
- R3: 1 sc, 1 inc = 18 sc
- R4: 2 sc, 1 inc = 24 sc
- R5 & 6: 24 sc
Fasten off with a tail for sewing (approximately 8 inches). Make a second identical part, but do not cut the yarn on this second piece.
Joining the Two Halves:
- R7: 24 sc into part 1 and 24 sc into part 2 = 48 sc
- R8 – 10 (3 rounds): 48 sc.
Use the tail from the first part to sew the gap between the 2 parts created in R7.
Shaping the Heart:
- R11: 10 sc, 1 dec = 44 sc
- R12: 44 sc
- R13: 9 sc, 1 dec = 40 sc
- R14: 40 sc
- R15: 8 sc, 1 dec = 36 sc
- R16: 7 sc, 1 dec = 32 sc
- R17: 6 sc, 1 dec = 28 sc
- R18: 5 sc, 1 dec = 24 sc
- R19: 4 sc, 1 dec = 20 sc
- R20: 3 sc, 1 dec = 16 sc
Insert polyester stuffing at this point to make the heart rigid and well-shaped.
- R21: 2 sc, 1 dec = 12 sc
- R22: 1 sc, 1 dec = 8 sc
Assembly Instructions
Before fastening off your final round, prepare your wooden skewer. Apply silicon glue onto approximately 1.25 inches of the skewer tip. Insert the glued end into the magic ring opening at the bottom of your heart, pushing it about 1.5 inches into the stuffing.
Using your tapestry needle, weave the yarn through the front loop of each stitch in your last round. Gently pull the yarn taut to close the opening securely around the skewer.
Repeat these steps to create all six hearts for your bouquet. Arrange them at varying heights for a more natural, visually appealing display.
Frequently Asked Questions
You’ll need 2 balls of Amigurumi yarn in your chosen color to complete all six hearts in this Valentine’s Day bouquet pattern. Each heart uses approximately one-third of a ball.
While the pattern calls for Amigurumi yarn with a D-3 hook, you can use other yarn weights by adjusting your hook size accordingly. Keep in mind that using different yarn will change the final size of your hearts.
Make sure to insert plenty of stuffing before closing the final rounds. The stuffing should be firm enough to hold the skewer in place while hiding it from view. The silicon glue helps secure the skewer and prevents it from slipping.
You can display your crochet heart bouquet in a vase, mason jar, or decorative container. Arrange the hearts at different heights for visual interest, and consider adding ribbon or other embellishments to the skewers for extra charm.
