You’ll use the mag­ic ring tech­nique, a mag­ic cir­cle, or a loop to start this cro­chet heart pat­tern. This method pro­vides a seam­less and adjustable begin­ning for your project. After cre­at­ing the mag­ic ring, pro­ceed with the basic stitch­es like slip, chain, and dou­ble cro­chets. Be sure to use the worsted-weight yarn and appro­pri­ate hook size for your desired heart size, whether a small amigu­ru­mi heart or a larg­er one for a blan­ket yarn project.

The heart shape is formed through sin­gle cro­chet stitch­es, dou­ble cro­chets, and even tre­ble cro­chets. You’ll work in con­tin­u­ous rounds, cre­at­ing the body of the heart from the bot­tom to the top. Don’t for­get to mark your stitch­es with a stitch mark­er to keep track of your progress. The pat­tern includes dif­fer­ent ways to cus­tomize your hearts, such as vary­ing yarn weights for dif­fer­ent sizes and exper­i­ment­ing with dif­fer­ent col­ors for a play­ful touch.
