Materials
- Yarn in red color. I used sport weight yarn Schachenmayr catania, 100% cotton, ball size: 125m/50gr (137yds/1.76oz)
- Crochet hook size 2.50 mm. This is my absolute favorite crochet hook I recommend to everyone
- Scissors
- Wide eye needle
Gauge and Measurements
The heart measures 1.37 inches (3.5 cm) in width and 1.18 inches (3 cm) in height, utilizing the yarn and hook mentioned above.
The gauge is not crucial for this pattern’s success. However, I prefer to use a hook size that is one or two sizes smaller or larger than the hook recommended on the yarn package. You’re welcome to adjust the yarn and hook size to create hearts of different sizes.

Let’s start
Round 1.
You have the option to begin the project with either a magic ring or a double magic ring, but I suggest starting with the double magic ring to avoid the need to secure the starting yarn tail later.
Into magic ring crochet: Ch3 (considered as Dc, photo 1), 2 Dc, Ch2 (photo 2),
Sl st into top of beginning Ch3 (photos 4 and 5).
Round 2.
Sl st into the next two sts, Sl st in the ch2-space, skip one st, 8 Dc into the next st (photo 6 white arrow), Sl st in the ch2-space (photo 7 white arrow),
skip one st, 8 Dc into the next st (photo 8 white arrow), Sl st in the ch2-space (photo 9),
Sl st into the next three sts, Sl st in ch2-space. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Thread the needle and weave in the end on the wrong side of the heart, referring to photos 10 and 11 for guidance.
Ready.
