Hi everyone, I’ve updated the written pattern on the blog with the stitch count and the corrected version for round 9. Based on recent activity, please don’t send me mean/rude messages on my social media platforms. I’ve acknowledged that I made a mistake in the written pattern for round 9 and made changes to the pattern.

I just used this tutorial to make a heart bag! Rather than stuffing for a pillow, I just connected and left an opening at the top and made some straps! 12 rounds is the perfect medium sized bag!!

This is one of the best tutorials I have seen! As a semi-beginner, I have struggled learning to read patterns and after this tutorial I think I have it down! Thank you!

I always end up clicking on your vids without realizing because they’re so aesthetic and unique! I love how gently and clearly you explain which is so helpful for a beginner like me!

[LilySteele]

hands down the best tutorial ever. I started crocheting 3 weeks ago and coming into this didn't really know how to read patterns. now coming out of it I can read written patterns so well. Thank you so much for being such a great teacher!!!

[itslexeeyo]

Lovely tutorial, it turns out even cuter if you single crochet the two panels together and add ruffles to the edge!

[SaishaSawant-boti]

Awesome it turned out very good...
Tips for those who are struggling (based on my experience🤡👍)
1. Iron it if it's wobbly
2. If left with extra stitch single crochet them together (like at the middle curve of the heart)
3 . Don't fill it directly with cotton make a pillow then stitch it...

All the best 🫂💖

i’m making this as a christmas gift for my sister who LOVES the color pink! instead of making a pillow though, i’m making it a little smaller and adding eyes and arms and legs to make it a little plushie, hopefully she likes it!! 💗

Such a well written and explained tutorial! Noted I’m not a beginner, but I usually free hand most of my projects. But every once in a while I’ll find a tutorial I want to follow. This pulled me in. Great job!

[lisa]

This was a fantastic tutorial! The idea is so cute, and you explain it really well. I'm not necessarily a beginner, but I never used a pattern before and you made it very simple to understand. Thank you and I'm excited for what you bring out next💜💞

[vikkusfikkus]

Even as an intermittent crocheter, the written pattern was confusing so I came here only to find out I was reading it wrong 🤦🤦😂😂 amazing pattern and clear instructions for when you're not rushing through it!! Mine came out lovely

[_jayna]

Thank you for this video! I wanted to make this for my partner for valentines! This is my first time ever crocheting something and I managed to get it done in 4 nights by having a lot of late nights... Doesn't look as clean as yours still looks nice. Thank you once again :)

[sophiagarcia]

this is the best tutorial of heart shaped crochet i’ve ever seen! thank you so much, you’re so sweet!

[lyssa]

thank you so much for this video! the way you explain things and how you have your pattern written is so user friendly and easy to follow! this pattern was super enjoyable to make and they're literally adorable and so fast to make! Such an awesome gift too, thank you!!!

[ALyes-fg]

Personally as someone who’s worked with very intricate patterns i by far have found this tutorial to be one of the hardest to follow definitely not for beginners and I find that your stitch count never matches mine no matter how many time I rewind and re do it

[bephany]

THIS IS SO CUTE AHHHH I'm definitely doing this one as soon as I can, thank you so much luv <333

[anayabutt]

This is such a nice beginner friendly tutorial! I made it and it turned out absolutely fabulous :) its super aesthetic and not that time consuming (some crochet projects take up to months)

[chiara.b]

girl I LOVE YOU. Thank you for giving us so many good patterns I've been looking for a good one for SO long 😭😭
