Crochet heart – the idea behind the design
Last year I also made a crochet heart pattern. These are similar, but bigger and they have different eyes. I love them both, and they would make a great couple!
I just wanted to make something easy and quick. Also, my ragdoll patterns are more popular that my other patterns, so I think I should focus more on that.
Yarn and materials
I am using cotton yarn for this project. It’s a worsted weight yarn, but you can also use different weights.
I am using a hook from Tulip this time. I bought this cute case a couple of months ago, and I absolutely love it! These hooks are amazing to work with, and I can truly recommend them.
You will also need safety eyes and some filling materials. I am linking the safety eyes I am using below. I always get questions on which one I use, so here they are.
