Crochet stuffed hearts

 

 

 

I found on Pinterest this cute pattern from Bella Dia for crochet hearts and I thought, what could I do with that? Make a mobile for my little girls room of course! I've edited the pattern to make smaller hearts as well as stuff them with poly fill (or cotton balls if like me you found yourself on bed rest and cotton balls were the closest thing in reach). This pattern is free! Please don't repost or sell pattern please :) Here are the instructions:

Stitches used: 

ch: chain 

sc: single crochet 

decrease: join 2 sc stitches to make one

increase: do two sc into one sc space

 

Materials: 

 

•yarn weight 3 (I used soft acrylic baby yarn)

Putting together hearts:

 

1. After finishing both hearts in desired size, place on top of each other with stitches matching up.

2. Attach yarn at bottom point of heart.

3. Sc around heart. When you come to the rounded lobe, do an increase in each stitch all the way around the lobe (this way it will lay flat).

4. Decrease in the cleavage of the heart.

5. Again do an increase in each stitch around lobe.

6. Sc till there is a little opening for stuffing.

7. Stuff heart then sc closed. Weave in tail.

8. Hang from 1/8" ribbon.
