Easy Crochet Heart Pattern
Materials Needed:
- Pink and white yarn (size 4, 100% acrylic)
- Crochet hook suitable for the yarn size
Base Row:
- Start with the pink yarn to make the background. Create a slip knot.
- Chain 21.
Row 1:
Yarn over, then insert the hook into the 2nd chain from the hook.
- Yarn over and pull through the chain (3 loops on the hook).
- Yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on the hook. This completes a half double crochet (hdc).
- Continue hdc in each chain across the row (20 hdc total).
- Chain 1, then turn your work.
Row 2:
- Repeat the hdc in every stitch across the row.
- Chain 1, then turn your work.
Heart Pattern Start:
- Work hdc in the first 10 stitches using pink yarn.
- Before completing the 10th stitch, add in the white yarn to complete the stitch.
- Make 1 hdc in the white for the 11th stitch.
- Switch back to pink yarn, completing the row in pink hdc.
Next Rows (Building the heart):
- Row 3: Work up to 8 stitches in pink, then switch to white for 4 stitches (center of the heart), then end the row in pink.
- Row 4: Repeat the pattern, gradually increasing the number of stitches in white to make the heart shape. Follow the pattern of increasing the stitches for the heart in the middle as follows:
- Row for 7 stitches in white
- Row for 10 stitches in white
- Row for 12 stitches in white
- Row for 14 stitches in white
Creating the Top of the Heart:
Work a row with 16 stitches in white, then repeat another row of 16 white stitches to form the body of the heart.
- For the row to create the top dip of the heart, make 15 stitches in white, 1 stitch in pink, then back to 15 stitches in white.
- Continue decreasing the number of white stitches per row to create the top lobes of the heart, ensuring to keep the pink single stitch in the center for the split between the heart's top curves.
Finishing Rows:
- After the heart top is formed, switch back to pink yarn only and continue to make rows of hdc until the square reaches your desired size.
- Finish by making two rows of hdc in pink to form a solid background around the heart pattern.
Final Steps:
- Fasten off and weave in all ends.
