Heart motif (free crochet pattern)

It’s Valentine’s Day tomorrow! And as many of you I have in my list some last minute “to do”, like packing the gifts and make it look heartwarming!

At the same time I’m working on a new design that is built from motifs! A heart is the center of the motif so I just went through my stashes, picked some lovely colours of yarn and made these pretty hearts! It’s quick and easy beginners project and it’s made in two rounds only! If you are beginner this is a perfect project to level up and learn some new stitches as puff stitch and cluster stitch.

Here the pattern is:

(you can get a pattern PDF form our ETSY, RAVELRY, LOVECROCHET or RIBBLR for a small amount)

A small quantity of yarn

(mine are made in DK yarn)

Crochet hook recommended for the yarn you’ll use

(in my case G(4.0) mm)

Tapestry needle and scissors to wave in ends

Difficulty level: Easy

Notes:

  1. Pattern is written in US crochet terms.
  2. Pattern is worked in rounds.

Stitches:

ch- chain, sc- single crochet, sl st – slip stitch

Special stitches:

Puff – puff stitch –  (Insert hook into next st, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops on hook) 3 times working into same st, yarn over and pull through all 4 loops on hook

Cl – Cluster (3dc cluster)

  1. Yarn over, insert the hook in the stitch, yarn over, draw the yarn through the stitch, yarn over, and draw the yarn through the 2 loops on the hook.
  2. In the same stitch, repeat the preceding step twice. You should have 4 loops on your hook.
  3. Yarn over and draw the yarn through all 4 loops on the hook.
