Crochet Hanging Heart Ornament

Materials:

Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn in peach (approximately 50 yards)
Hook: 4.0 mm (G) crochet hook
Scissors
Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Gauge: Gauge is not critical for this project, but for reference, 4 single crochets (sc) = 1 inch. To check gauge, make a small swatch (4x4 inches) and count the stitches.

Abbreviations:

ch: chain
sc: single crochet
sl st: slip stitch
st(s): stitch(es)
R: row

Instructions:

2. R1: In the magic ring (or second ch if you’re using that method), work 6 sc. Pull the ring tight and join with a sl st to the first sc. (6 sc)

3. R2: Ch 1, 2 sc in each st around. Join with a sl st to the first sc. (12 sc)

4. R3: Ch 1, *sc in the next st, 2 sc in the next st*. Repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the first sc. (18 sc)

5. R4: Ch 1, *sc in the next 2 sts, 2 sc in the next st*. Repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the first sc. (24 sc)

11. R10: Ch 1, sc2tog around. Join with a sl st to the first sc. (6 sc)

12. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Pull the tail through the last loop to secure.

Finishing:

1. Use the tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends on the heart.

2. To create a loop for hanging, cut a piece of yarn about 12 inches long. Thread it through one of the top stitches of the heart, tie a knot to secure, and make a loop. This will allow you to hang your heart ornament anywhere!

Blocking:

Lightly steam block your heart to help shape it if you wish. Be careful not to get the yarn too wet.

Optional Variations:

1. Use multiple colors of yarn to create a striped heart! Just change colors at the end of your desired rows.

2. Add embellishments like small beads or embroidery for personal touches.
