Crochet Amigurumi Heart
Materials Needed:
- Yarn: Parfait Chunky Chenille Yarn by Premier Yarns in color Pink Lemonade (for the demonstration) and regular Worsted yarn for a smaller version.
- Hook: 5mm (H) crochet hook for Chenille yarn, 4mm (G) hook for Worsted yarn.
- Others: Scissors, yarn needle, stuffing, stitch marker (or tiny bobby pin).
Pattern Instructions:
Creating the First Hump:
- Start with a magic ring.
- Single crochet (sc) 6 into the magic ring.
Increase Round:
- Two sc in each stitch around -> You will have 12 stitches. Mark the first stitch of the round with a stitch marker.
- Sc in each stitch around (12 stitches).
- Cut the yarn, leaving a small tail, and pull through to fasten off.
Creating the Second Hump:
- Repeat the steps for the first hump, but do not cut the yarn after completing the 12 sc in the last round.
Joining the Humps:
- With the second hump still attached to the yarn, insert your hook into the last stitch of the first hump and slip stitch to join the two humps.
- Single crochet around the first hump. Mark your first sc (not the slip stitch).
- Once the first hump is covered, single crochet across the gap between the humps, then continue single crocheting around the second hump.
- After covering the second hump, single crochet across the gap back to the first hump.
Shaping the Heart:
- Start the round by skipping the first stitch and single crocheting in the next.
Work an invisible decrease:
- Insert the hook under the front loops of the next two stitches, yarn over, and pull through both loops.
- Single crochet three, then invisible decrease.
Continue the pattern:
- 3 sc, invisible decrease, till the end of the round.
- The rounds that follow will consist of patterns like sc two, invisible decrease, repeated around, and further decreases per the instructions, with occasional stuffing.
Finishing Touches:
- Once the heart is fully shaped and stuffed to satisfaction, cut the yarn, and pull through to fasten off.
- Use a yarn needle threaded with the tail to weave and tighten the final hole closed. Weave in any loose ends.
- (Optional) Insert the needle at different points to shape or adjust the heart’s appearance.
Additional Notes:
- The tutorial suggests incorporating these hearts into other amigurumi projects, like having a bear hold the heart.
- Feel free to experiment with different colors and yarn types.
