Here is my pattern for the heart. This is a very simple project, but very interesting. Especially if you give a little decoration to the project.. This heart is decorated like vintage.
So, how to knit a heart.
Abbreviations:
Magic ring
Single crochet (sc)
Increase (inc – 2 sc in same stitch)
sc2tog (two sc together)
Slip stitch (sl st)
Stitch/Stitches (st)
() – indicates the total number of sts for that round
note: this pattern is crocheted in continuous rounds so unless I’ve noted otherwise you do not need to join at the end of each round. I Also suggest using a stitch marker to mark the last stitch of each round.
You will need:
Les then 40 g Worsted Weight Yarn category 4 in any colour
3.25mm(D) hook
Yarn needle
stitch marker

We have round completed with 36 sc)
Rd 1: Sc around (36)
Rd 2: (Sc in next 4 sts, sc2tog) around (30)
Rd 3: (Sc in next 3 sts, sc2tog) around (24)
Rd 4: (Sc in next 2 sts, sc2tog) around (18)
Rd 5: (Sc in next st, sc2tog) around (12)
While stuffing makes sure the tail you used to close the gap is not stuck inside, you’ll need it later to pull tight and shape the heart.
Continue with “sc in next st, sc2tog” until you heave 5 sts left.
Cut yarn and pull it through the last loop. Now pull the Top A tail tight to shape the heart and hide the tail inside with tapestry needle.
With a tapestry needle, weave the tail through the front loops of the remaining 5 stitches and pull it tight to close. Weave in yarn end!
Crochet heart is ready!
