Perfect Crochet Heart: Free Amigurumi Pattern

February 5th, 2019 | 9 Comments | by Nea

amigurumi, free, heart, love, pattern, spring, valentine's day

So, this is not really a new pattern, but it is improved! This is a version of the second pattern ever, that I posted a couple years ago. The only thing I’ve really changed is I’ve rewritten the joining row to not have any decreases and added some pics, to simplify and clarify. I’ve also added three new sizes! XS, XL and 2XL. You can find the measurements of the different sizes in the pattern specifications below.

The smallest heart is so cute! And with all the different sizes you can really experiment with yarn weights and make anything from little heart keychains to big heart pillows.

If you do crochet any hearts, please share them with me, I would love to see! @NeaCreates

Size: 2XL: 15x15x7, XL: 13x13x6, L: 11x11x5, M: 9x9x4, S: 7x7x3, XS: 5x5x2 (HxWxDcm).

Difficulty: Easy/Intermediate

Notes: This pattern is written in English, US crochet terminology and SI units are used throughout. I use a smaller hook size than the yarn calls for to get tighter stitches. The heart is crocheted in continuous rounds. All measurements are approximate & will vary with your yarn & tension.
