Here is a simple photo crochet tutorial of how to crochet a Heart Granny Square in 4 rounds! ❤️🧶 This is a Heart Granny Square, a perfect project for Valentine’s Day. This heart granny square can be used in a variety of projects—think blankets, pillows, coasters, or a cute patch for a Valentine’s-themed tote bag. The combination of a solid heart shape and a classic granny square border makes for an adorable crochet motif. Materials Needed: • Worsted weight yarn in two colors: one for the heart and another for the square border (You can also use more than two colors for a more vibrant design.) • Crochet hook (size H/5.0mm or the appropriate size for your yarn) • Scissors • Tapestry needle for weaving in ends Stitches & Abbreviations Used (US Terms): • Ch – Chain • Sl st – Slip stitch • SC – Single crochet • HDC – Half double crochet • DC – Double crochet • TC – Treble crochet • Sp – Space • Sk – Skip Starting the Heart Shape With your heart color yarn, you can either make a magic circle or (make a slipknot, ch4, and sl st to 1st ch to form a loop). I prefer the latter because it feels stronger. If you have trouble with doing all the stitches in the ring for round 1, try chaining 5 instead. Round 1: ch3, dc11 into ring, sl st to top of ch3 (12) Round 2: sk2, tr8 into third st, dc in each of next 2 st, [dc, tr] in next st, ch1, [tr, dc] in next st, dc in each of next 2 st, tr8 into next st, sl st between first and last st of round 1 (24 st, ch1 at bottom point) Fasten off your heart color. Starting your square border Attach your border color yarn to the fourth tr you made in round 2. This is the top left corner of the square. Round 3: ch3, dc in same st, hdc, sc, hdc, dc, tr, [tr2, ch2, tr2] in next st, dc, hdc, sc in ch1-sp, hdc, dc, [tr2, ch2, tr2] in next st, tr, dc, hdc, sc, hdc, [dc2, ch2, dc2] in next st, hdc, dc2tog, tr between first and last st of round 1, dc2tog, hdc, [dc2, ch2] in next st, sl st (9 st on each side of square, ch2 in each corner) Round 4: ch3, dc in ch2-sp below, *dc in each of next 9 st, [dc2, ch2, dc2] in ch2-sp,* rep between ** 3 more times, but only [dc2, ch2] in last ch2-sp, sl st (13 st on each side of square, ch2 in each corner) Fasten off and now you have a crochet heart granny square! 🧶❤️
