Pattern Notes

The puffy crochet heart is worked from the top down, crocheting the “humps” as two separate pieces. The humps
are then joined together and crocheted as one piece. You will need to use a stitch marker to keep track of your
rounds.

Each “hump” begins with the magic ring. If you are unfamiliar with this technique, I recommend checking out my
beginner guide to the magic ring:

How to Crochet the Magic Ring

If you have trouble with the magic ring you can use a different method to accomplish the same goal:

Alternate Magic Ring Method

Stuff your puffy crochet heart with poly-fil for a soft stuffy to give to someone speacial; attach a key chain or a ring to
attach to a bag or even fill it with uncooked rice to make a hand warmer!
