Step-by-Step Pattern
Materials Needed:
- Yarn in white and pink (or any two colors of your choice)
- Crochet hook (appropriate size for your yarn)
- Sewing needle
- Scissors
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Love Hearts
- If you haven't already, first create your crochet love hearts. (This may have been covered in part one of the tutorial. You can refer to the referenced "previous video.")
- The hearts will be the main base for the project.
Step 2: Add a Single Crochet Border
- Using the white-colored yarn:
- Attach it to your heart and begin working single crochet (sc) stitches evenly around the entire edge of the heart.
- In the corners (the most curved or pointy sections), work 2 single crochet stitches in one stitch to keep the shape even and prevent it from curling.
- Continue making single crochets evenly around the entire heart.
- If the shape curls a little, that's okay—it’s intentional and will work for the next step.
Step 3: Finish the Border
- Complete your final single crochet stitch at the end of the round.
- Fasten off the yarn:
- Make a slip stitch, chain one, and cut the yarn, leaving a small tail.
- (Optional) Make adjustments to any irregular stitches if needed to keep the border neat.
Step 4: Fold and Position the Hearts
- Fold the pink hearts into the desired shape for your project:
- For example, fold heart edges to align the sides to form part of the container.
- Position the white heart piece (bordered with single crochet) so it fits neatly inside or outside the pink heart.
Step 5: Sew the Hearts Together
- Using a needle, connect the pink and white pieces along the edges with simple stitches.
- Ensure the stitches are loose enough that the shape retains its structure without puckering.
- Align “stitch to stitch” to keep the shape consistent and neat.
- Sew carefully across one side (or both sides, depending on how you fold them), leaving portions open where necessary to form the box or lid.
Step 6: Shape and Seam
- Check how large the seam needs to be before fully connecting the pieces (depends on how wide/open the box you want).
- Knot the yarn when finished stitching, and trim any excess yarn.
- If applicable, ensure the seam still allows for opening/closing if making a jewelry box.
Ideas for Use:
- Heart Bowl/Tray: Leave the heart open to create a cute tray to store small items.
- Love Heart Box: Combine two folded pieces to form a hinged love heart box for storing jewelry or trinkets. This makes for a lovely handmade gift!
Final Touches:
- Adjust the fit if necessary.
- Add decorative details or embellishments as you like.
- Enjoy your finished crochet love heart!
