The Valentine Amigurumi Heart is so cute I think anyone would love to receive one. The written directions here on this page are so easy to understand and whip up. I do worry about using the pipe cleaners when it comes to children though. The pipe cleaners have a small wire that could cause harm. I don't think I'll add them to the hearts I'll be making, just to be safe. Thank you so much for sharing this free crochet heart pattern.

That's right, chain 1 doesn't count as a stitch

Hi Spirit, we checked with the designer and here's what she said: Ch 1 (doesn't count as a stitch), skip 2 sc, sc in next 8 sc, sc3tog (that equals 1), sc in next 8 sc ...that comes out to 19 stitches, you do that twice = 38 sc. Or (2 + 8 + 1 + 8) x 2 = 38. Hope that clears things up.

You have to know how to crochet to make this. The instructions are not right starting at row 15. I tried it 7 times and the instructions state you end with 38 stitches, impossible. You start with 42, skip 2 sc 2 times so you just lost 2 stitches and you sc3tog 2 times so you lost 4 more stitches. It is cute though. I would recommend doing the hair in 3 different lengths and make 5 or 6 chains. I did the 4 in the same length, still cute, and tied them in place.
