Thank you! Merry Christmas to you too!
Such a great idea! Love it so much❄?⛄
Thank you!
Beautiful!
I need help please. At the end of round 1 it says to ch 3, sl st. Where do you put the sl st? I can’t figure it out.
Thanks,
Anita Cole
Hi Anita,
You need to work Sl St into the fourth Ch from hook (the first Ch made).
Is the terms American or English terms
I am using US crochet terminology.
These are so cute. Wish I had found them sooner. Can’t wait to try them for our Christmas in July family reunion. Makes for a nice favor since we are not exchanging gifts. Thanks for the idea and pattern!!

Adorable hearts but the rest of the instructions for the big heart are missing. It says to follow the small heart rows 1-3 and then nothing else. Help?
Hi Debbie, I made my crochet Christmas ornaments in two sizes using different weight yarn. Instructions for both sizes are the same except 4th rnd. On the blog, there are instructions for the smaller heart which has 4 rnds. For the larger heart, use worsted medium weight yarn and just follow the same instructions for rnds 1-3 only. Hope this will help.
So glad I found this! I made 2 hearts and with wrong sides facing, crocheted along the edge in a contrasting colour. Once I had almost gone all the way around, I put a bit of scrap yarn inside the 2 hearts to puff it out a bit, finished up the edge and then made a double chain hanger for the top. Worked wonderfully! 😀
Wonderful idea! I am glad that you enjoyed making these hearts!
Hi I have enjoyed the use of a few of your patterns. Now that I have made the small Christmas heart ornament I would like to make the large one. The only thing is that after rnds 1-3 of the small heart there aren’t any more instructions.
So, it’s the large heart only 3 rnds and then you’re to finish off and done or are there more than 3 rnds for the large heart.
I do like your patterns. I’ve made the Halloween heart ornament and I’m about to make the Heart shaped spider
The large heart has three rounds as well. It is made using the same pattern but medium weight #4 yarn.
