DAY 4 of the Valentine’s CAL
This pattern is so cute and perfect for pretty much anyone. I used Premier Deborah Norville Everyday yarn, but you could use any other yarn, just be aware to use a smaller or lager hook (depending on which yarn you pick) and realize that the heart either shrinks or gets bigger than for what I wrote it for. I just love this heart so much, that I used it again, but this time for earrings instead of a keychain 🙂
MAIN VALENTINE’S CAL POST is HERE!!!
What you will need:
- Hook and yarn of your choice (I used a 5.0mm hook and the Premier yarn Deborah Norville Everyday Yarn in Red)
- earring hooks (stainless steel)
- scissors and yarn needle
Instructions:
Make 4 hearts (2 for each earring)
- Ch 4
- You will now work for every stitch into the same chain which is the 4th chain from the hook. Place these stitches in this order into the 4th chain from the hook: 3 tr, 3 dc, Ch 1, 1 tr, Ch 1, 3 dc, 3 tr, Ch 3, sl st into the same Ch as all the other stitches, do another sl st towards the back of the heart to hide the yarn
- Fasten off and weave in the ends, unless you want to sew it onto something.
MY LATEST VIDEOSIn order to make earrings: Sew the wrong sides together and attach that double heart to an earring hook like it is shown on the picture above.
In the video tutorial below you can see how I made a heart in two different ways. For this pattern I used the first heart pattern shown.

Hi Nicki, these hearts are super cute. I made 4 and am thinking of making earrings. I guess I’m not sure of the best way to sew them together. Do you sew them with a needle and thread? Something else?

I just used a normal tapestry needle and the same yarn to see it together. Not sure what the sewing stitch is called, but it is just normal loops all the way around. Hope that makes sense. Let me know if you need more help?
