Teeny crochet heart pattern

Well, the crochet heart face pads pattern is finally up here on Ravelry.

Editing all the photos for the photo pattern tutorial included was a feat which I didn’t expect to take so long. But it’s done and it’s taught me a lot about shots which are useful.

And as promised, here is the teeny heart pattern in 3 sizes. Written in UK crochet terminology.

Materials:

• DK cotton yarn (I used Ricorumi in any of the red or pink shades)

• 2.5 mom crochet hook

• tapestry needle (for weaving in the ends.
  

Biggest teeny heart :

1. Make magic circle,

2. Ch 1 to secure magic circle

3. Into magic circle, ch 1, 2tr, 1htr, ch1, 1htr, 2tr, slip stitch.

4. Pull magic circle close tightly. Cut yarn leaving a 3-4 inch tail. Weave/sew in ends.

Medium teeny heart :

1. Make magic circle,

2. Ch 1 to secure magic circle

3. Into magic circle, ch 1, 2htr, 1dc, ch2, 1dc, 2htr, slip stitch.

4. Pull magic circle close tightly. Cut yarn leaving a 3-4 inch tail. Weave/sew in ends.
   

Smallest teeny heart :

1. Make magic circle,

2. Ch 1 to secure magic circle

3. Into magic circle, ch 1, 2dc, 1 sl st, ch2, 1 sl st, 2dc, slip stitch.

4. Pull magic circle close tightly. Cut yarn leaving a 3-4 inch tail. Weave/sew in ends.
   

The smallest teeny heart is probably the trickiest. Making a dc AFTER a slip stitch is not comfortable, but it’s do-able.

Also, note for the largest teeny heart you only ch 1 to make the point at the bottom of the heart. For some reason if you ch 2 (like for the medium or smallest heart) you end up with a a more noticeable hole.

Happy hooking!
