          Hi Valerie! I don’t do crochet videos because I crochet left-handed, and since most everyone is right-handed it think it would cause more confusion than anything. Can you tell me where you’re getting stuck and I’ll try to help?

        Hi Michelle,
        Can your easy heart be made in a cotton,? Should i double it ? Hook is a 3.50 but this is a small hook and Iโ€™m struggling trying to keep a grip on the yarn probably as itโ€™s a cotton ,Iโ€™m wanting to do it for a keyring ,itโ€™s a lovely pattern so thankyou ,Jan wynder

          Hi Jan, you can use any yarn you want for the pattern. If you’re having problems keeping the yarn on the hook, try using a thinner weight yarn like sock weight. I hope that helps! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hello Michelle,

    What an incredible site. Your crochet is amazing and your photography is wonderful.

    The only problem is that I do NOT crochet or knit. I’ve tried so many times to no avail.

    Reply
    • Michelle says

      October 13, 2017 at 10:36 am

      Hi Marsha! I tried several times too before I got the hang of it. The trick is to just keep working at it until you get it. When I finally stuck with it, I would knit/crochet stuff that was not great looking, but as I kept at it I got better and better. There may be some inexpensive or free classes offered in your area at your local library or craft stores. Also check out YouTube for some beginner tutotials. I hope that helps! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hi Michelle,

    This is great! I agree, this is the best and easiest heart pattern out there. Well done! And thank you for putting the patterns for 3 sizes.

    I used these patterns to make various different hearts (mixed and matched using different yarns x different sizes). It’s a great way to test out yarn, since you know you’re working off the same pattern, but of course the finished product will vary based on the yarn.

    I recently started a blog and this project was actually the first article I wrote. I hope you don’t mind! (I did link back to your page so my readers would be able to see the actual pattern followed on your article). My friend and I are planning on attaching a small note to each heart and hang them around down. Our little way of spreading love :). Also, the very first one I created was for my daughter so she could attach this to her backpack. It’s the yarn version of a “kissing hand” ๐Ÿ˜‰

      February 23, 2021 at 10:35 am

      Hi Ellie! Try adding more increases with each row that are evenly spaced out and play around with it until you get it how you want. If the heart starts pulling inward, rip the row and add more increases; if the heart starts getting wavy, rip the row and decrease the number of increases. I hope that helps!

    Michelle, I, too, wand to continue to a bigger size for a dishcloth. Surely a formula could be worked out based on these three increased sized. But my brain won’t do it. I bet you could, though. I’d be ever so grateful!

    I love working with the pattern and I think it should be named the easiest heart pattern ever. I have made all 3 pattens and have made 2 at a time and stuffed them a little with the same color yarn I made them with. They are so cute. BTW I tried several other patterns and they were just confusing, I was so happy when I found this pattern. Very easy to follow. I don’t usually leave comments but I had to for this pattern.
