SWEET LITTLE HEART AMIGURUMI DIRECTIONS
This HEART is very easy and quick to make.
The pattern uses only basic crochet stitches - single crochets.
MATERIALS
Amigurumi Cotton Yarn or any yarn you like
2.5 mm crochet hook / smaller heart / fine yarn
3.5 mm crochet / bigger heart / light yarn
Scissors
Stuffings
Sewing or tapestry needle for sewing pieces together and weaving in ends
Markers
PATTERN NOTES
1) A ch1 at beg of the row DOESN'T count as a stitch
2) Magic ring = the starting point for crocheting in a spiral. Use which ever method you prefer.
3) Continuous rounds - HEART is worked up in continuous rounds, which means that you will not be joining the last stitch of the round with the first one. Instead you will need to keep track of where each round started and how many stitches you have made because after each round you will continue right on to the stitches of the next round (with no join). It is useful to use a stitch marker or piece of yarn to mark the start or end of each round.
4) These Sweet HEARTS Amigurumi measure: bigger one: 5 x 4 cm / 2 x 1.6 inch, smaller one: 3.5 x 3 cm / 1.4 x 1.1 inch
5) You can make the Sweet HEART bigger with a thicker yarn or a larger hook size.
6) There is just minimal sewing, you will only sew two halves of heart together into part - this is quick and easy to do, there are no tricks.
