Detailed Video Tutorial on YouTube
Thanks Crochet-Mania for the great tutorial.
I found that learning the Magic Ring was a great alternative to starting crochet in the round. Here’s an excellent video from KawaiiGurumi. Although she’s targeting Amigurumi artists, this tutorial works for anyone working in the round, and was by far the most clear that I found. I had my Magic Ring first time around. Thanks for sharing. P.S. If you’re interested in learning amigurumi crochet KawaiiGurumi has an entire Youtube channel on How to Amigurumi!
This is a lovely crocheted doily brought to us by Leslie, the “Crochet Queen,” of CrochetDoilies.com. I did mine in red and it simply screams romantic Victorian Valentine. Leslie also specializes in Filet Crochet Name Doilies and has a special page full of some of the most detailed free patterns I’ve seen. Do check out her Delicate Crochet Butterfly, Shamrock & Irish Knot, Halloween Spider, and Thanksgiving Turkey, just to name a few.
Coming to us from Bella Dia is this charming little (or big, who’s counting?) Heart Garland. Cassi Griffin has written a tutorial that is extremely detailed and pleasing to the eye with tons and tons of close up pictures. This tutorial was a breeze to follow. Recommended for beginners. This was one of the first hearts I was able to make without a hitch – no mistakes at all. Thanks, Cassi, for a marvelous tutorial! Oh and BTW, Cassie also makes the cutest one-of-a-kind little mushroom houses. You’ve got to take a peek!
Now if you prefer crochet to knitting, Cindy at Skip to My Lou, adapted the basic heart found at Suzie’s Stuff into this darling garland. Check Cindy’s shop for a plethera of free crafting ideas.
This free pattern is an original from RoxyCraft. This one got me started on the Amigurumi craze. If you haven’t been bitten yet, check out Roxycraft’s collection of free patterns. These make up so quick and are so much fun. They’re absolutely addictive!
It’s really another Amigurumi heart, but I like to compare different patterns. Sometimes just a little twist in phrasing can help you understand a pattern so much better. This one comes from Sandra who creates limited edition or one-of-a-kind Pepika Dolls.

Crocheted Amigurumi-Style Hearts
Here’s another amigurumi style heart that Patricia Kruep of Little Berry Studio so graciously shared here on Instructables. Look how cute these look in that cup. Thank You Patricia.
Thank you, Jill of Wool’s Happenin’ for sharing this cute little knit heart dishcloth. I think this cutey pie would brighten up any kitchen all year long, not just Valentine’s Day. While you’re knitting this up, don’t forget to congratulate Jill on following her passion and focusing full time on her business, Starstruck Cat Design, which offers one of a kind hand-crafted items. Good luck in all your endeavors, Jill!

Thanks for the buzz Cherylann. I just started using SeededBuzz. It obviously works, doesn’t it? There are some knitted hearts in the round up, just not too many. At the time, I was on a roll learning crochet. Mind if I add your knitted finds to the round up? You’ve found some great ones.
I wish I crochet but it has given me an idea. Watch out for a buzz from me.
Thanks Jill. I’m adding yours to the list, girl!
Great round up, Ramona! I’ve bookmarked it for future reference. I published my first knitting pattern right before Valentine’s Day. Guess what it was? The Big Heart Dishcloth. I thought you might like to try it. You can find it here: http://www.woolshappenin.com/blog/?p=267
Great round up! I don’t knit or crochet but I just passed along the link to this post on my blog because I know there are lots of people out there who would love this!
Thanks so much Mallory!
