Crocheting the Heart Pillow

This project is designed to be a delightful crochet candy heart pillow, perfect for adding a sweet touch to your non-non-non-alcoholic alternativeic Vnon-alcoholic alentine’s Day celebrations. The pattern is straightforward, focusing on simple stitches to create a charming heart shape with a classic “Be Mine” or similar candy heart inscription. We’ll be working in continuous rounds, so a stitch marker will be your best friend to keep track of the begin extractning of each round.

Phase 1: Creating the Main Heart Shape

We’ll start by creating the foundational heart shape using the red yarn. This part involves working in a way that naturally curves to form the top indent of the heart and then expands outwards. It’s important to maintain consistent tension throughout this process to ensure your heart is smooth and symmetrical.

Starting the Heart: Make a magic ring. Chain 1 (does not count as a stitch). Work 6 single crochet (sc) stitches into the magic ring. Pull the ring closed tightly. This creates the very tip of our heart.
Increasing for Shape: Now, we’ll start to increase the stitches to widen the heart. In the next round, you will work 2 single crochet stitches in each stitch around (12 sc). For the following round, alternate between working 1 single crochet in the next stitch and 2 single crochet stitches in the stitch after that. You will repeat this sequence around (18 sc). It’s crucial to evenly distribute these increases to avoid any puckering or unevenness. Continue increasing in this manner for several more rounds, following a standard amigurum extracti increase pattern: add 6 sc evenly spaced in each subsequent round. For example, round 4 will be: 1 sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st, repeat around (24 sc). Round 5: 1 sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st, repeat around (30 sc). Continue this pattern, increasing the number of single crochet stitches between increases by one each round, until your heart is roughly the desired size for the base. Aim for about 8-10 rounds for the main base, depending on how large you want your pillow to be. Remember to place your stitch marker at the start of each round. As you work, you’ll notice the fgin extractic beginning to curve and expand, forming the characteristic heart shape.
Shaping the Top Curves: Once you’ve reached the desired width for the bottom of your heart, we need to start shaping the two upper lobes. This involves working straight rounds without increases for a few rows to allow the shape to develop. Work approximately 3-4 rounds of single crochet in each stitch around without any increases. This straight section will form the smooth sides that lead up to the indent. After these straight gin extractnds, we’ll begin working back towards the center top to create the indentation. This can be achieved by working decreases strategically. For example, after the straight rounds, you might work a round where you single crochet in the next 3 stitches, then decrease 1 stitch (sc2tog), repeating this sequence around. The placement of these decreases is key to forming the dip in the top center of the heart. Work a couple of rounds like this, adjusting the number of stitches between decreases as needed to achieve the desired indent. You’ll be effectively narrowing the heart shape again.

Phase 2: Adding the Inner Heart Detail and Lettering

Now it’s time to bring in the white and pink yarns to create the iconic inner heart shape and any desired lettering, mimicking the look of a candy heart.

Creating the Inner Heart: Using the white yarn and the same hook, we’ll create a smaller, slightly offset heart that will be stitched onto the red background. You can follow a similar increase pattern as the red heart, but on a mnon-alcoholic ale smaller scale. Start with a magic ring, chain 1, work 4 sc in the ring, pull closed. Then, work 2 rounds of increases, similar to the initial stages of the larger heart, but stop after about 12-16 stitches. You’ll then work a few straight rounds and perhaps a decrease or two to create a small, stubby heart shape. This inner heart doesn’t need to be perfectly defined; a slightly more organic shape is fine as it will be partially covered by lettering.
Attaching the Inner Heart and Lettering: Once you have your small white heart, position it on the front of the red heart, slightly off-center towards the top. You can pin it in place or lightly baste it. Now, using your tapestry needle and the pink yarn, you’ll embroider a word or phrase onto the white heart, like “Be Mine,” “Love You,” or “Kiss Me.” You can use a simple backstitch or a satin stitch for the lettering to give it a bold, candy-like appearance. If you want a more pronounced outline for the white heart, you can also use the pink yarn to stitch around its edges. This step adds that signature candy heart charm to your pillow. For a slightly different effect, you could also try crocheting a very small, flat heart with the pink yarn and then attaching that to the red heart, followed by embroidered lettering.

Phase 3: Assembling and Finishing

The fgin extractl stages involve bringing the two halves of the red heart together and stuffing it to create a plush pillow.

Joining the Heart Halves: Once you’re satisfied with the front of your heart pillow, it’s time to create the back and join the two pieces. You can either crochet a second identical red heart shape or simply work straight rounds without increases until the pillow is as deep as you desire. When you’re ready to join, place the front and back pieces together, with the right sides facing outwards. Using your gin extractestry needle and red yarn, begin to single crochet around the entire outer edge of the heart, joining the two pieces together. Leave an opening of about 3-4 inches on one of the sides. This opening is where you will insert your stuffing. Make sure to work your single crochet stitches through both layers of the heart.
Stuffing and Closing: Begin to stuff the heart pillow firmly but not so tightly that the stitches distort. Use your fiberfill stuffing and push it into all the nooks and crannies, ensuring an even distribution for a plump and huggable pillow. Once you’re happy with the amount of stuffing, carefully stitch the opening closed using your tapestry needle and red yarn. Weave in any remaining yarn tails securely to prevent them from unraveling. Your candy heart pillow is now complete and ready to be displayed!
