Designer: Hooktasy
Two hearts twisted in one embrace, this pattern is pure love turned into a crochet toy. A red and white heart duo with tiny arms wrapped around each other and the sweetest little faces make this one of the most heartwarming makes out there.
This is a beginner-friendly pattern that works up quickly using basic stitches. First, you will make the two heart halves separately, then sew them together. After that, you will crochet two arms and the hanging cord separately, and then assemble everything together.
You will need cotton yarn in red and white colors (or any colors you like), a 3 mm crochet hook, 6 mm safety eyes, scissors, and a little glue.
You can hang these hearts on a car mirror, use them as a gift for someone special, as a keychain, or as a sweet Valentine’s Day present.
