Mini Crochet Heart Tutorial

Hey! In this post i'm going to show you how to make mini crochet hearts. They are easy to make.
They are really very quick to make and for a beginner in crocheting you will love making them.
This is how they look like.



I think i can really use them in numerous projects, some of my ideas are ear rings , cake toppers , garlands and the list can go on.

Ok now choose your favourite color yarn and crochet hook.

Step 1:  Starting from the slip knot make a chain of 4 stitches.

Step 2:  Now build a single stitch row on this chain. Repeat this two more times so that you have a tiny little square, as in the picture.

Step 3:  Chain 2 and then locate the center of one edge of the square and double crochet in the same place 4 times , you will have a semicircular bump on that side and that forms one side of the heart. ref pic.

Step 4: Join it with the corresponding vertex of the square. Starting from this vertex now make a new semicircle over the next edge of the square and join it with the third vertex.

Step 5: Look You are done!


Happy crocheting :)
