Step-by-Step Crochet Pattern:
Heart Shape:
- Start with a Magic Ring:
- Make a magic ring and then chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
- First Round:
- Yarn over twice; insert the hook into the magic ring, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops, repeat until you have 4 loops on the hook, yarn over and pull through 2 loops each time. This creates your first double crochet.
- Make 2 more double crochets in the magic ring.
- Chain 4 and slip stitch into the magic ring.
- Pull the ring tight to close (but not completely, as you need to work additional stitches later).
- Second Round:
- Skip the first chain and slip stitch into the second chain.
- Chain 1, single crochet in the next chain.
- In the next stitch, make 3 double crochets.
- Continue with 3 double crochets in the same stitch for two more stitches.
- Make 3 double crochets, one in each of the next three stitches.
- Make 2 double crochets in the next stitch.
- Yarn over twice, insert into the next stitch, make a double crochet, yarn over twice and make another double crochet in the same stitch.
- Make 2 double crochets in the following stitch.
- Continue with 3 double crochets, one in each of the next three stitches.
- In the next stitch, make 3 double crochets.
- Chain 1, make a slip stitch in the last chain of the starting chain.
- Third Round:
- Slip stitch in the first stitch of the previous round.
- Insert the needle and make 2 medium double crochets (join with a single stitch).
- Make 8 double crochet increases (2 double crochets in each stitch) around.
- Continue with 5 double crochets, one in each stitch.
- Make 2 medium double crochets and a single crochet in the next.
- Finish with a slip stitch, cut and secure the yarn.
- Finishing the Heart:
- Make a magic ring and single crochet inside it to create the center ring.
- Sew or glue to finish. Embroider the face with contrasting thread for mouth and eyes as described or leave it plain.
Assembly:
- Legs and Arms:
- Create smaller heart shapes or designated parts for legs and arms using a similar technique.
- Attach by sewing or glue as described.
- Final Assembly:
- Insert any filler if needed; make seams tight and to finish, tighten the magic ring well and secure with a final knot or closure.
- Insert a key ring in the desired place and tighten using pliers.
Tips:
- Crocheting tightly and maintaining consistent tension ensures a neat shape.
- Secure all loose ends and weave them in for a clean finish.
- For added security, glue parts together as per preference.
