About the Pattern

Each corazoncito is crocheted in continuous
spirals without joining the rounds. You will need
a stitch marker to keep track of where the beginning of each round starts; move the marker
up to the first stitch of the next round after finishing the previous one.
When you look at the pictures and use them as
reference, I just want to let you know that I am
left handed and so the direction in which the
rounds are going, and the way the hook is
positioned is opposite for those of you that are
right handed.
The yarns used for this project are listed in the
Final Notes section on the last page, near the

images if youre interested in using the same

color and yarn that made these little hearts!
I made the majority of the increases and decreases in the outer edges of the hearts (until
the final 3 rows) to make them a bit flatter and
not as full.
IMPORTANT- If you want to put craft eyes in to
have a face, you will need to insert them after
completing the round with 16 sts, otherwise it
starts getting too narrow for that.
Also, check out the additional pdf download
to see pictures of how I joined the humps
together :)

Final Notes
If you havent already, (using scrap yarn, or the fastened off end of the
first hump) sew the opening between the 2 humps together, going
around until youre comfortable with the security of the stitching, when
youve used up most of the yarn, finish by by inserting the needle
through the heart and pulling it out the other side then doing that again
and tugging tightly while you snip the remaining yarn as closely as you
can get to the heart, then move it around a bit and the end will work
its way back into the body of the heart.
If youd like to add a face, using the raspberry colored embroidery floss, embroider the mouth onto
the heart ; you could also use black, the only reason I didnt was because I couldnt find any on
hand... weird huh. You can get creative with embellishments, for example if youd like a broken
heart, you could cut a piece of black felt to resemble a lightening bolt and embroider it from between the humps down the middle. Personalize it any way youd like.
The yarn used for this project was: Lion Brand Cashmere Blend- Red #113
