Crochet Mini Size Heart
Materials Needed:
- Category 4 yarn
- 3.75 millimeter crochet hook
Pattern Overview:
Start with a Magic Ring:
- Hold the yarn end against your index finger with your thumb.
- Wrap the yarn around your finger, creating a cross.
- Use your crochet hook to pull the yarn through the loop to create a mini loop on your hook.
- Chain one to secure the magic ring.
Creating the Heart:
- Chain 3 More (Total of 4 chains from the magic ring).
- Treble Crochet x3 into the magic ring.
- Wrap yarn around the hook twice before each stitch.
- Double Crochet x3 into the magic ring.
- Wrap yarn around the hook once for each stitch.
- Chain 1, then perform 1 Treble Crochet.
- Chain 1 again, this marks the tip of the heart.
Repeat the steps to mirror the first half:
- 3 Double Crochets into the ring.
- 3 Treble Crochets into the ring.
- Chain 3 and slip stitch into the magic ring to complete the outline.
Finishing Touches:
- Chain 1 and then cut the yarn, pulling the end through the loop to secure it.
- Tighten the magic ring by pulling on the loose end of yarn.
- Weave in the ends with a needle or the crochet hook for a neat finish.
Additional Tips:
- Feel free to adjust the size by changing the yarn type and hook size.
- The initial chain before starting the heart's lobes acts as the starting point and should not be too tight, to keep the heart shape consistent.
- Make sure to pull through all loops on your hook neatly to avoid any loose stitches.
