Crochet Heart in a Circle

I’m diving into Valentine’s Day Crochet projects and came up with a little heart design that can be used for a variety of projects! A basic heart becomes a circle that can be as small or big as you’d like. Keep increasing for a larger blanket sized circle or add just a few rounds and use it as bunting, a coaster, and/or appliqués. I’m sure you will think of many other ways to use this pattern and I can wait to see what you come up with!

Materials:
– Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in white, Pale Plum, Orchid, and Medium Purple.
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle

We will start with a heart and then transform it into a circle. Feel free to keep going and make it as large as you’d like! The heart circle that I demonstrate in my YouTube Video below measures 5×5 inches.

I ended up making a foot stool cover! I got the foot stool at Five Below for $5! I continued the heart circle pattern until I got to the increase of “2 SC in first, SC in next 12” and then I made 30 more rounds of SC stitches. It slips right over the stool and is adorable in Zoe’s room! Plus it’s removable and washable. You could make it in many different colors! You can see my TikTok Video on how I put together this SweatHeart Foot Stool Cover HERE.
