This beginner-friendly amigurumi heart pattern is perfect for beginners and can be made in different sizes just by changing the yarn and hook size.
This heart works up quickly and only needs a small amount of cotton yarn with size 8/4, a size 2.5 mm hook, and some stuffing.
All you need to know before working on this pattern is how to make a single crochet stitch, also you need to know how to increase and decrease.
It’s suitable as a gift on Valentine’s Day, or if you wish to share a special message, it can also be put on a wooden stick, as a keychain, garlands, appliques, or stuffed plushies for any occasion.
