Stuffed Crochet Heart




What’s better than hearts for Valentine’s Day? It’s that time of year again, when everything is adorned with hearts which is one of the most iconic symbols of love!!!! With Valentine’s Day coming up, is there a better time to try to make a heart than now?

I was amazed by the number of crochet heart patterns out there on the Internet. Here am sharing a super cute Stuffed Heart pattern.

Hearts are great for Valentine’s Day decor. They are also great for gifts or for using as accessories for your projects. These are not just restricted to Valentine's day but you can also make them all throughout the year. Let your imagination and creativity guide you and you will come up with all kinds of uses for these crocheted hearts. String them into a garland.....make them into ornaments or just fill a bowl with these cute hearts for Valentine’s Day decoration. No matter what you use them for, they look great.

These are also perfect for beginners and fun to make. These take so little time to make that you will have a whole bunch of them in no time. 

These Stuffed Hearts can be easily made with any choice of yarn. Just use the crochet hook that is appropriate in size to your choice of yarn and you're ready to get started!!! So, get your things all set and enjoy making them!!!!!

You can use any yarn of your choice. Just make sure that you are using a crochet hook apt for the yarn you choose.
For the Video Tutorial I used 4 Ply Cotton Knitting Yarn and a 4 mm Crochet Hook.

Round 1:-
Start with a Magic Circle.
Chain 1(Not Counted as a stitch)
6 Single Crochets in the Magic Circle.
Pull the yarn to close the gap.
Do not slip stitch. We will be working in continuous rounds.


Round 2:-
2 Single Crochets in each stitch.
12 Stitches.

Round 3:-
1 Single Crochet.
2 Single Crochets in the next stitch.
Repeat (1SC, 2SC)
Slip stitch at the end and weave off.
18 Stitches.
Similarly, with the same pattern make one more circle but do not weave off at the end.

Round 4:-
1 Single Crochet each in 9 stitches.
Join the other circle with a slip stitch.
1 Single Crochet each in the next 18 stitches of the 2nd Circle.
Join back on the first circle with a slip stitch.
1 Single crochet each untill the end.
36 Stitches.





Round 5:-
1 Single Crochet in each stitch.

Round 6:-
1 Single Crochet each in 4 stitches.
1 Single Crochet Decrease in the next stitch.
Repeat(1SC*4, 1SC Decrease)
30 Stitches.


Round 7:-
1 Single Crochet each in 3 stitches.
1 Single Crochet Decrease in the next stitch.
Repeat(1SC*3, 1SC Decrease)
24 Stitches.

Round 8:-
1 Single Crochet each in 2 stitches.
1 Single Crochet Decrease in the next stitch.
Repeat(1SC*2, 1SC Decrease)
18 Stitches.

Round 9:-
1 Single Crochet .
1 Single Crochet Decrease in the next stitch.
Repeat(1SC, 1SC Decrease)
12 Stitches.

Stuffing:-
Time to stuff the Heart.
Ideally most of us would want to use fiber fill for the stuffing.
But what if I say we can use the tiny bits of yarn ends which we usually throw off!!!!! Oh yes...I have a habit of saving the yarn ends in a jar.
These would make a great substitute for all your amigurumi projects.




Round 10 Onwards:-
Keep Repeating 1 Single Crochet Decrease untill the gap is closed and weave off.
And....there you go!!!! 
Make them in variety of colors and make as many as your heart pleases!!!!
Your Cute Stuffed Hearts are ready for decoration or for gifting the way they are.
