Materials Needed
Before we begin, let’s take a look at the materials you will need for crocheting the heart stitch:
Crochet hook (size G or H works well)
Worsted weight yarn (in your desired color)
Scissors
Tapestry needle
Step 1: Foundation Chain
To begin, make a foundation chain of an even number of stitches. The length of your foundation chain will depend on how wide you want your project to be. For example, if you want to make a scarf that is 50 inches long, you may want to start with a foundation chain of around 150 stitches.
Step 2: First Row
In the first row, single crochet in the second chain from your hook. Then, single crochet in the next chain. Chain one and skip the next chain. Repeat this pattern across the entire row, ending with a single crochet in the last stitch.
Step 3: Second Row
For the second row, chain two and turn your work. In the first stitch of the row, double crochet. Then, chain one and skip the chain space from the previous row. In the next stitch, double crochet. Repeat this pattern across the entire row, ending with a double crochet in the last stitch.
Step 4: Third Row
For the third row, chain one and turn your work. In the first stitch of the row, single crochet. In the chain space from the previous row, work a cluster stitch (a cluster stitch is created by yarn over, insert hook into space, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops on the hook, repeat 2 more times, then yarn over and pull through all 4 loops on the hook). Chain one and single crochet in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern across the entire row, ending with a single crochet in the last stitch.
Step 5: Fourth Row
For the fourth row, chain two and turn your work. In the first stitch of the row, double crochet. In the chain space from the previous row, work a cluster stitch. Chain one and double crochet in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern across the entire row, ending with a double crochet in the last stitch.
