In an effort to create a Valentines themed window, I've been very busy crocheting up hundreds of these teeny tiny hearts, my dream is to create a curtain of them to hang up like a garland in the shop window. My calcuations suggest I need over 300, so we'll see if I manage to make that many.
I'm absolutely loving making these so thought it only fair to share the love in case you too would like to make some for your valentines.
It's such a simple and quick little make, it takes me around 2 minutes per heart, so they really are a speedy make and great for using up yarn scraps.
I'm using a mixture of DK weight yarns including some Rico Cotton, some Wendy's acrylic and some Hello Cotton.
For DK weight yarn you'll need a 3.5mm or 4mm hook.
Abbreviations (I use UK terms in this pattern - the US equivilents can be found in brackets below)
ch - chain
dtr - double treble (treble crochet)
slst - slip stitch
st - stitch
tr - treble crochet (double crochet)
How to make...
Make a magic loop, 3ch, work into the magic loop as follows; 3dtr, 3tr, 1ch, 1dtr, 1ch, 3tr, 3dtr, 3ch, slst, pull your magic loop tight and fasten off.
It really is that easy!
I’d love to see your creations so if you do make any of these please give me a tag on Instagram or Facebook 😃
