Feb 6 Valentine Crochet Candy Hearts

'I want candy'...hearts crochet for V-day!

These candy hearts are perfect for an adorable addition to your Valentine's cards or you can do what I did and accessorize with them.

To get started you will need

Materials:

Worsted weight yarn works best to hold shape (I used Red Heart Super Savers)

Hook size G/6 4.25mm

Yarn needle

Hair Clips (optional)

Fiber/poly fill stuffing (optional)

Abbreviations:

CH- chain

TRC- treble crochet

DC- double crochet

SL ST- slip stitch

Bottom of Candy Hearts:

Choosing which ever color you want to start prepare to create a magic circle. The heart is worked in a single row around.

Stitching into Magic Circle, CH 4, then 3 TRC, 3 DC, CH 1, 1 TRC, CH 1, 3 DC, 3 TRC, CH 4 and SL ST into Magic circle. Fasten off and tighten magic circle

Top of Candy Hearts:

Repeat pattern for Bottom of heart but instead of fastening off you will then SC in Front loops only around edges. SC into each stitch of CH 4 then continue around and down CH 4 on other side. Join then fasten off leaving a tail to sew with.

Once you have created your hearts you can begin stitching phrases onto the top heart piece. You may be able to fit more if you use embroidery floss, however I just used yarn.

After you have finished your phrases you can stitch the hair clip to the back of the bottom piece if you choose. Now we sew the pieces together, for this I just shoved the ends into the center and used them as a sort of stuffing and it was more than enough to fill the shape, but if you prefer to use a filler that works too. You'll just need to weave in those pesky ends. I'm lazy!
