• Hook: 5.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 14 single crochet (sc) and 16 rows = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a magic ring. This will be the center of your heart.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochet (sc) into the magic ring. (You should have 6 stitches.)
3. Round 2: Increase in each stitch around. (You should have 12 stitches.)
4. Round 3: *Single crochet in the next stitch, increase in the next stitch* around. (You should have 18 stitches.)
5. Round 4: *Single crochet in the next 2 stitches, increase in the next stitch* around. (You should have 24 stitches.)
6. Round 5: *Single crochet in the next 3 stitches, increase in the next stitch* around. (You should have 30 stitches.)
7. Continue increasing in this manner until you have a total of 60 stitches.
8. Work even for 5 rounds without increasing or decreasing.
9. Begin shaping the heart: Work 30 stitches, then turn your work.
10. Work 5 rows even on these 30 stitches.
11. Begin decreasing: *Single crochet in the next 3 stitches, then single crochet two together (sc2tog)* across the row. (You should have 24 stitches.)
12. Continue decreasing in this manner until only 6 stitches remain. Fasten off the yarn.
13. Repeat steps 8-11 for the other side of the heart to create the second half.
14. Join the two halves: Attach your yarn to the center of the heart and single crochet around the entire shape, joining the two halves together.
15. Stuff the pillow with fiberfill before closing completely to ensure it’s plump and soft.
16. Add a decorative border: Work a round of shell stitches around the edge of the pillow for a beautiful finish.
