What do we need?
Knitting cord - 3mm or 5mm (if you want bigger heart), at least 2 pcs
Crochet hook no. 6 or 8 mm
A needle with a larger eye
Patience 😊
Start with 6SC into magic ring
2. Into each single crochet we make 2 single crochets - working through the back loop
3. We increase every second single crochet…so 1 sc, 2 sc, 1 sc, 2 sc… and so on.
4. We increase every third single crochet…so 1 sc, 1 sc, 2 sc, 1 sc, 1 sc, 2 sc…and so on.
5. We increase every fourth single crochet
6. We increase every fifth single crochet
7. Now we increase every 10th single crochet
8. We increase in 4 more places and we have 50 single crochets
9. Next we make 5 rows without adding any stitches
The whole heart will consist of two parts, one of which you have just made; finish it off and start another one, but do not finish the second one so you can continue.
Once you have both parts ready, we will join them, so put them together so that with the end of one you can join both parts with 12 stitches
10. Join them together
11. Now crochet around both parts with one row, crochet so that no unnecessary holes or gaps appear anywhere
12. Crochet around both parts for the next row
13. Start crocheting together 2 single crochets at a time on each side edge
14. Crochet together again 2 single crochets at a time along the sides, try to alternate the joining spots so they are not always directly beneath each other.
15. Crochet together again along the sides, now 2 sc, then make 1 sc and again crochet together 2 sc
16. Now taper the sides gradually as in the previous steps, two rows of 2 sc along the edges, then a row of 2 sc, 1 sc, 2 sc
It is up to you what shape and size you then want, but by gradually tapering you will get a point, sooner or later.
Don't forget to stuff the heart well in advance :).
