Free Crochet Heart Pattern for Beginners
Materials
- Any Yarn desired, please see photos below for examples of yarn I used and recommened hook sizes
Different yarns require different hook sizes. Using a smaller hook will create tighter stitches and a smaller amigurumi heart, while a larger hook will produce looser stitches and a slightly larger, more relaxed heart.
Made using Embroidery Floss and a 1.5 mm crochet hook
Made using DK/Medium weight yarn and a 3.25 mm crochet hook (recommended is 3.5 mm)
Made using Blanket Yarn and a 7 mm crochet hook
