crochet pattern hearts
general info
techniques used in this pattern
magic ring (recommended) -single crochet double crochet increase crocheting in the round (rounds are not joined!)
yarn-weight & hook-size and what that means for the figure
For the Hearts you see in this pattern I used Puppets Lyric Yarn (8/8, DK, Light Worsted) and a 3 mm hook. The resulting Hearts' heights: 4 cm (large), 3 cm (small), measured from the hearts bottom tip straight up to the point where between the two rounds. Use lighter yarn and the Hearts will be smaller. Use heavier yarn and they will be taller. Whatever types of yarn you are using: make sure they have the same weight (per Heart).

Hearts - The Pattern
HEART (small + large)
Note: The pattern for the large Heart is the same as for the small one. There's just one more round to it. See reference pictures for step-by-step instructions. 1 magic ring of 11 - 11 2[sc, 2dc] in next st, 3dc in next st, sc in next 3 st, 3dc in next st, sc in next 3 st, 3dc in next st, [2dc, sc] in next st - 21 for a small heart: skip round 3 for a large heart: continue with round 3 3 sc in next 2 st, 2dc in next 4 st, sc in next 4 st, 3dc in next st, sc in next 4 st, 2dc in next 4 st, sc in next 2 st - 31
fasten off & weave in yarn-end(s)
Reference pictures: Note: I recommend weaving in the yarn-end from the beginning while crocheting along. The following steps a) to g) show you how to do that. Of course you can leave it hanging and weave it in later. :) In this case continue on page 8.
Weaving in yarn-end
a) To weave in the loose yarnend do it like this: After finishing the magic ring continue with round 2. Guide your crochet hook through the next stitch like usual.
b） Now lay the loose yarn-endover the hook (see picture).
c) Now grab the yarn (not the loose yarn-end) as you usually would and pull it through the stitch. d) Grab the yarn again and finish the stitch.
e） Continue like that for the next couple of stitches. Guide your hook through the next stitch, lay the loose yarn-end across/on top of the hook and then finish the stitch.
f）In this case I repeated these steps until I was halfway through with the heart's first round.
g) Cut off the excess yarn. From here on continue crocheting like usual. And that's one yarn-end less to worry about in the end. :)
