Crochet Tiny Heart Tutorial

Materials Needed:

FF milk cotton yarn (color pink or any color of your choice)
3 mm crochet hook
Scissors
Glue
A magnet (7 mm wide and 1 mm thick, very thin)

Pattern:

Starting with a Magic Ring:

Hold the yarn in your right hand.
With your left hand, point up two fingers.
Wrap the yarn around your two fingers twice, creating a cross on the palm side and parallel lines on the top of the fingers.
Insert the crochet hook under the first loop.
Grab the yarn that's closest to you, pulling it through this first loop.
Twist your hook 180° clockwise.
Grab the working yarn (held with your ring finger and pinkie) and pull it through the loop on your hook. This forms the magic ring.

Chaining and Double Crochets:

To secure the magic ring and start your pattern, chain 2.
Make 3 double crochets into the magic ring.
For each double crochet: Yarn over, insert the hook into the magic ring, yarn over again, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over, pull through 2 loops, yarn over, and pull through the remaining 2 loops.

Half Double Crochets:

After the double crochets, make 3 half double crochets into the magic ring.
For each half-double crochet: Yarn over, insert the hook into the magic ring, yarn over, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over, and pull through all three loops on the hook.

Chain and Reverse Pattern:

Chain 1.
Reverse the pattern: Start with 3 half double crochets into the magic ring followed by 3 double crochets. This creates the symmetrical shape of the heart.

Close the Heart:

Chain 2.
Execute a slip stitch into the magic ring to close the heart.
Pull a long tail of yarn and cut. Use this tail to tighten and close the magic ring fully, which will shape your heart.
Trim any excess yarn from the tail to clean up your work.

Finishing Touches:

Apply some glue to the back of the heart and attach your thin magnet.
You can create another heart in a different color or the same color based on your preference.
