Easy Crochet Heart
This crochet heart is super easy and quick!
This is a great project for using up excess yarn. Any yarn weight will work. Just use the crochet hook called for by the type of yarn. For the heart above, I used two strands of yarn together and a 'K' hook.
Abbreviations (US Terms)
ch - chain
sc - single crochet
hdc - half double crochet
dc - double crochet
tr - triple (treble) crochet
sl - slip
st - stitch
First, make a 'magic ring'. Ch 2
Round 1: (3 tr, 4 dc, 1 tr, 4 dc, 3 tr) into magic ring.
Pull the magic ring mostly closed, ch 2, sl st into small hole in magic ring. Pull magic ring tightly closed.
Round 2: sc in ch-sp, 2 hdc in next st, 3 hdc in next st, 1 hdc in next 3 sts, 2 hdc in next st, (hdc, dc, hdc) in next st, 2 hdc in next st, 1 hdc in next 3 sts, 2 hdc in next st, 3 hdc in next st, 2 hdc in next st, sc in ch. Cut yarn with about 4 inch tail. sl st in ch, pull through.
To Finish: Pull the tail through the top ch toward the back. Pull the ring tail through the top ch toward the front. Tie them together at the top and cut off any excess.
