Instructions
Crochet Heart:
- Round 1: Using the bernat topaz yarn, ch x2 (does not count as a stitch) and dc x15 into the ring. Then sl st to the top of the 1st dc you made, pull the ring tight (15).
- Round 2: Ch x1, then hdc into the same stitch. Dc x4 into the next stitch, then hdc inc in the next. Sc in the next 4 stitches. You are now at the bottom of the heart so make a hdc, dc, and hdc into one stitch. Then sc x4, and hdc inc in the next. Dc x4 in next, hdc in the next stitch. Then ch x1 and sl st to the sl st from joining the last round together (27).
- Round 3: Ch x1, then hdc where you made the first hdc in the last round. Then follow the rest of the sequence of stitches for the round:
- Hdc, dc, dc inc x3 (one increase in the next 3 stitches), dc, hdc in the next 5 stitches, hdc + dc + hdc for the bottom stitch, hdc in the next 5 stitches, dc, dc inc x3, dc, hdc in the next 2 stitches, ch x1 sl st to the sl st from the first round to make a deep indent at the top of the heart (35 stitches plus the chain at the beginning and end of the round for 37 total stitches).
- Then fasten off and weave in the ends.
Finishing Options:
- Use a surface slip stitch around the edge of the third round for a fun icing detail.
- For a more delicate touch, embroider around the heart’s edge to create an elegant icing effect.
- Add extra flair by embroidering snowflakes, swirls, or dots in the center of the heart.
- Attach a yarn loop at the top of the heart to turn it into a perfect ornament.
- I hope you enjoyed making the festive crochet heart ornament pattern and that they bring some extra charm to your Christmas tree this year!
