Instructions

Creating the Heart Pillow Base

Part 1: The Front Panel

Let’s begin extract by creating the front panel of our heart pillow. We’ll be working in continuous rounds, so a stitch marker is highly recommended to keep track ogin extracthe beginning of each round. For this first panel, we’ll primarily use the “Red” color yarn.

Start with a magic ring. If you’re not familiar with the magic ring technique, you can chain 4 stitches and join with a slip stitch to the first chain to form a small ring.

Round 1: In the magic ring, work 6 single crochet (sc) stitches. Pull the tail to close the ring tightly. Place your stitch marker in the last single crochet. (6 stitches)

Round 2: Work 2 single crochet stitches in each stitch around. (12 stitches)

Round 3: Work 1 single crochet in the next stitch, then work 2 single crochet stitches in the following stitch. Repeat from to around. (18 stitches)

Round 4: Work 1 single crochet in each of the next 2 stitches, then work 2 single crochet stitches in the following stitch. Repeat from to around. (24 stitches)

Round 5: Work 1 single crochet in each of the next 3 stitches, then work 2 single crochet stitches in the following stitch. Repeat from to around. (30 stitches)

Round 6: Work 1 single crochet in each of the next 4 stitches, then work 2 single crochet stitches in the following stitch. Repeat from to around. (36 stitches)

Round 7: Work 1 single crochet in each of the next 5 stitches, then work 2 single crochet stitches in the following stitch. Repeat from to around. (42 stitches)

Round 8: Work 1 single crochet in each of the next 6 stitches, then work 2 single crochet stitches in the following stitch. Repeat from to around. (48 stitches)

Round 9: Work 1 single crochet in each of the next 7 stitches, then work 2 single crochet stitches in the following stitch. Repeat from to around. (54 stitches)

Round 10: Work 1 single crochet in each of the next 8 stitches, then work 2 single crochet stitches in the following stitch. Repeat from to around. (60 stitches)

Round 11: Work 1 single crochet in each of the next 9 stitches, then work 2 single crochet stitches in the following stitch. Repeat from to around. (66 stitches)

Round 12: Work 1 single crochet in each of the next 10 stitches, then work 2 single crochet stitches in the following stitch. Repeat from to around. (72 stitches)

We are now establishing the widest part of the heart. Continue increasing in this manner until your heart shape is the desired size. For a standard pillow size, you’ll likely want to go up to around 15-20 rounds of increases. Let’s say for this example, we will continue increasing until Round 18.

Rounds 13-18: Work 1 single crochet in each stitch around. This is crucial for shaping the heart, as it stops the widening and allows the curves to develop. At the end of Round 18, you should have 72 stitches.

Nogin extractwe need to begin decreasing to form the top point of the heart.

Round 19: Work 1 single crochet in each of the next 10 stitches, then work a single crochet 2 together (sc2tog). Repeat from to around. To create an invisible decrease, insert your hook into the front loop of the next stitch, then into the front loop of the stitch after that. Yarn over and pull through both loops. Then yarn over again and pull through the remaining two loops on your hook. (66 stitches)

Round 20: Work 1 single crochet in each of the next 9 stitches, then work sc2tog. Repeat from to around. (60 stitches)

Round 21: Work 1 single crochet in each of the next 8 stitches, then work sc2tog. Repeat from to around. (54 stitches)

Round 22: Work 1 single crochet in each of the next 7 stitches, then work sc2tog. Repeat from to around. (48 stitches)

Round 23: Work 1 single crochet in each of the next 6 stitches, then work sc2tog. Repeat from to around. (42 stitches)

Round 24: Work 1 single crochet in each of the next 5 stitches, then work sc2tog. Repeat from to around. (36 stitches)

Round 25: Work 1 single crochet in each of the next 4 stitches, then work sc2tog. Repeat from to around. (30 stitches)

Round 26: Work 1 single crochet in each of the next 3 stitches, then work sc2tog. Repeat from to around. (24 stitches)

Round 27: Work 1 single crochet in each of the next 2 stitches, then work sc2tog. Repeat from to around. (18 stitches)

Round 28: Work 1 single crochet in the next stitch, then work sc2tog. Repeat from to around. (12 stitches)

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. This long tail is essential for attaching the front and back panels together later. You have now completed the front panel of your heart pillow!

Part 2: The Back Panel

To create the back panel, you will follow the exact same instructions as the front panel, using the “Red” color yarn. Ensure you also leave a long tail for sewing when you fasten off. This symmetry is key to a well-formed pillow.

Adding the Inner Heart Detail

Now for a touch of extra sweetness! We’ll create a smaller heart to be appliquéd onto the front panel. For this, we’ll use the “Pink” yarn.

Start with a magic ring.

Round 1: In the magic ring, work 6 single crochet (sc) stitches. Pull the tail to close the ring tightly. Place your stitch marker. (6 stitches)

Round 2: Work 2 single crochet stitches in each stitch around. (12 stitches)

Round 3: Work 1 single crochet in the next stitch, then work 2 single crochet stitches in the following stitch. Repeat from to around. (18 stitches)

Round 4: Work 1 single crochet in each of the next 2 stitches, then work 2 single crochet stitches in the following stitch. Repeat from to around. (24 stitches)

Round 5: Work 1 single crochet in each of the next 3 stitches, then work 2 single crochet stitches in the following stitch. Repeat from to around. (30 gin extracttches)

Now, we’ll begin decreasing for the top point of this smaller heart.

Round 6: Work 1 single crochet in each of the next 4 stitches, then work sc2tog. Repeat from to around. (25 stitches, approximately. Due to the decrease pattern, the stitch count might feel a little off here. It’s the shaping that matters.)

Round 7: Work 1 single crochet in each of the next 3 stitches, then work sc2tog. Repeat from to around. (20 stitches, approximately)

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. This smaller heart will be sewn onto the center of the front pillow panel.

Assembling the Pillow

This is where your Candy Heart Pillow really starts to take shape! We’ll use the “White” yarn for the distinctive candy heart outline, and the “White” yarn again for any tiny heart details if you choose to add them.

Attaching the Inner Heart

First, center the smaller “Pink” heart onto the front “Red” panel. Using your yarn needle and the long tail from the “Pink” heart, carefully stitch it into place. Make sure your stitches are neat and secure. You can also add a few tiny “White” embroidered stitches to the inner heart for a subtle pop of detail, like little heart candies.

Joining the Panels

Lay the front panel and the back panel flat, with the right sides facing outwards. You want the inner heart to be visible on the front. Align the edges carefully. Thread your yarn needle with the long tail from one of the panels (it doesn’t matter which one to start). We’ll be single crocheting the two panels together, starting at the indentations at the top of the heart.

Insert your hook through the corresponding stitches of both the front and back panels, then yarn over and pull up a loop. Yarn over and pull through both loops on your hook to complete a single crochet. Work your way around the entire heart shape, single crocheting through both panels. As you get close to the widest part of the heart, start to stuff the pillow firmly with your polyester fiberfill. Continue crocheting and stuffing until the entire pillow is well-filled and has a nice, plump shape.

Once you’ve crocheted all the way around and are back at your starting point, you can fasten off. Weave in all your yarn ends securely using your yarn needle.

Adding the Candy Heart Outline

Now, for the iconic candy heart detail! We’ll use the “White” yarn and your crochet hook to create a border that mimics the look of a classic candy heart.

With the “White” yarn, join it to any stitch along the outer edge of your pillow.
Chain 1 (does not count as a stitch).
Work a round of single crochet stitches evenly around the entire edge of the pillow, working through both panels. This provides a neat base for our next round of shell stitches.

After completing the single crochet round, and without fastening off, we will now add the decorative shell border.
Work 3 double crochet (dc) stitches into the same stitch, then skip the next stitch, and work a slip stitch into the following stitch. Repeat from to around the entire edge of the pillow. This creates a lovely, scalloped edge reminiscent of candy hearts.

When you reach your starting point, you can fasten off the “White” yarn. Weave in the tail securely. You’ve now successfully created your Candy Heart Pillow!
