It’s still one week to Valentine’s Day, just enough time to make more hearts! This week I want to share a free pattern for another heart. The pattern has similar motifs as my previous heart (you can take a look at the pattern here), but instead of a square in the center it has a circle, which resembles the treble crochets that are on the sides. Also, this week’s heart is a bit bigger and requires a couple more stitches.
I think that both hearts look pretty good together: so if you would like to hang them together or make a garland of hearts, it would definitely work. Share in comments how do you use hearts that you crochet 🙂
Good luck!

Pattern
Start by making an adjustable (magic) ring.
Round 1: ch 4; *dc in the magic ring, ch 1*, rep ** 11 times, join with a sl st.

- Skip 3 stitches of the prev rnd and work in the fourth stitch: *trc, ch1*, rep ** 7 times (all in the fourth stitch). Skip 3 stitches of the prev rnd and make a sl st (in between the two dc of the prev rnd), ch 1.
- Skip 3 stitches of the prev rnd (the second dc of the dc inc, hdc and sc) and work in the fourth stitch: *trc, ch1*, rep ** 7 times (all in the fourth stitch).
- Skip 3 stitches of the prev rnd, make a sc in the second dc of the dc inc of the prev rnd, 5 sc in the next 5 st, make 2 sc inc in the two following stitches (one in each dc of the dc inc of the prev rnd), 3 sc in the next 3 stitches, join with a sl st.
Round 5:
