Reminder for myself: you are on row 9. Edit: Made this for my boyfriend for Valentines day, he loved it. It wasn't as big (due to yarn choice) but the pattern was easy to follow and my project came out beautifully. Thank you!!

[@creationsmisfit]

Just saw your edit and I'm so glad he loved it!! Thank you for watching and commenting 🥰

WHY DID I NEVER THINK OF THIS THATS SO SMART

[@kirnpu]

Good heavens - I'm pretty new to crochet at 69 (never too late) and have just made the most lovely pillow! Your instructions were so clear and easy to follow. I'm stunned that I managed to keep the correct counts because that usually defeats me. I made a blood red heart for a husband on his way home from being out of the country during Valentine's Day and he is going to LOVE it! Thank you again.

[@creationsmisfit]

This makes me so happy to hear!! That's right, it's never too late. I'm so glad everything worked well for you and I bet your husband will be so proud of your beautiful work!! Thank you for watching and sharing your comment! 🥰

[@ronm3526]

I just made nine of these for my grandchildren for Valentine's Day. I used Bernat Baby Blanket in purple, green, orange, and variegated blues. Great instructions. Thank you!

[@creationsmisfit]

Wonderful!! I bet they will love them. Thank you for watching and commenting! 💜💚🧡🩵💙

Thank you for the pattern! I made my mom a heart pillow for mothers day, i hope she enjoys it. I used pink very chunky yarn( jumbo 7 ) to make it, so it is very sturdy.

I want to make a 5 inch one is that possible

[@creationsmisfit]

@@KaylanaParry hi! You can just use a smaller yarn and hook. Maybe a size 5 yarn with a size 5.5mm or 6mm hook!

[@crystalhendershot333]

Made this for my hubs just because i used Bernat Blanket yarn and a size 8 hook so was slightly more puggy then yours. However love your pattern and i also love the fact that you dont spend super long on going over the stitches. Subscribed. This particular pattern took me about 45 minutes including finding stuffing lol.

Thanks for this tutorial. I made 2 of these for my granddaughters for Valentine's Day. I used 2 strands of Red Heart worsted #4 yarn. I didn't have bulky yarn. They came out great! I Also put a face on them because my granddaughters are 4 & 10 years old 😊. I see more little heart pillows in my near future 😊

[@markrhodes8540]

I was so happy to find your tutorial. I have been crocheting off and on for probably 50 years, but I've never tried amigurumi until just recently. I've made some different things, but I really wanted to master the heart. I tried several videos and was so frustrated because none of them, imo, were really that complete..... but then I found yours. I can honestly say this is the best tutorial I've seen thus far and I have watched several. I appreciate you using such great camera shots and showing clearly where each row should begin and being so detailed. It is truly appeciated. I can't wait to see more of your tutorials. Thank you very much. I can't see where I can post a picture of the heart I made, but it turned out perfectly, and is basically the same color as yours. Yay! Thanks again!

[@creationsmisfit]

Thank you so much! You just made my day with this thoughtful comment. I truly work hard to make my videos as user friendly as possible. I know we all learn differently, some people think I go too slow or too fast. It's hard to accomodate everyone, so I'm very happy you found this to be easy for you. Unfortunately, youtube doesn't allow us to post photos. If you are on Instagram, you can dm it to me or post it and tag me! I am @creationsmisfit Thank you again! 🥰

@@user-sy9ih4vd7v you can use any size yarn and hook you'd like with this stitch count. It will just turn out smaller if you use smaller hooks/yarn and larger if you use larger hooks/yarn 😊

Thank you so much! You show us how to do it so amazingly. Every other video I watched so far just says something I always get confused on how to count stitches but you explained it so beautifully! The pattern is also so easy to follow and I’m currently on round 10 going strong 💪💪. Could you make a pattern for round pillows? I tried to make round pillow before this thinking it was easier but I swear to god I was about to give up on crocheting! My “pillow” would always turn into a hat. Anyways thank you so much!

[@nghuichoo6019]

Hi, if I add more rounds of sc in each stitch (after roll 5) will it increase the size of the heart? Thank you.

[@creationsmisfit]

@nghuichoo6019 hi! It will, but the heart will be large and the two top portions will be most likely be too small for the rest of it. I do have a tutorial for a larger heart if you'd like to make that one instead. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqTLYZpnjryMl9k And you can always increase the size of either tutorial by holding two strands together or using a umbo size 7 yarn too!

[@sarahmonis682]

could you please alter this pattern so that i can make a 7 inch heart with worsted weight acrylic yarn and a size 3 hook?

[@sarahmonis682]

or is it okay to just use 2 strands of it together and a size 7 hook?

[@creationsmisfit]

@sarahmonis682 hi! Yes, you can just use two strands together and use a 7mm hook. It will be very close to the size in the video then 🥰

[@sarahmonis682]

I love this heart........If you're not having great luck like myself with thee magic ring....you mentioned to sc4 and sl stitch....i'm not sure what to do after that.....hope that makes since. TIA

[@creationsmisfit]

Hi! You can SC 4 and slip stitch to the first SC. That will make a circle for you, just like the magic ring. Then you just follow along with th3 pattern. You will do your sc's inside that circle. I hope that helps! Here is a longer video for the Magic Circle that should be helpful as well if you want to try that 🥰 kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKuzfqGvp76Gd5o

[@lilsunrayx1895]

Love love love, literally. I made a bunch for myself and friends/family!! Only issue is I end up with a different number at the end of each row. It still comes out fine but any reason why? (yes I use different sizez #5 for 7" #6 for 9" and #7 for 11")

How to manage if yarn gets over in between the product?

[@creationsmisfit]

Hi, I'm not sure I understand. I make sure to keep the yarn on the outside so it doesn't get stuffed in. I hope this helps?

@creationsmisfit Yes, I have instgram. No tiktoc. Ok. Thanks 😊

[@bassmom434]

This is exactly what i was looking for , for the top of the lovey im making. But i have a question, is there a way to go from the bottom up using increases instead of decreases the whole way? Anytime i do amigurumi my decreasing looks horrible and gapped, even with inv dec. im always glad its near the bottom thats hidden, but with all the heart patterns ive seen, the whole thing is decreased. Is there a way to reverse it?

[@creationsmisfit]

Hi! Hmmm... I suppose you could do the pattern in reverse and increase instead of decrease, but I'm really not sure how that would come out. Especially because the two humps on top would be way different going from bottom up. Have you done decreases with this big blanket yarn? It's much more forgiving than a normal size yarn. I tend to have small gaps as well with amigurumi with size 4 or 3 yarn because I crochet a bit loosely. Also, I see a lot of people who yarn under instead of yarn over for amigurumi and their stitches are wayyy tighter. So that may be something to consider as well!

[@sarikagoyal98]

Ur pillows are beautiful, thats why i watched...but u are a bit fast for me, appreciate if u can crochet a bit slow for people like me ))

[@creationsmisfit]

Hi, thank you! I'm sorry, I try my best to accomodate everyone because in my earlier videos I was told I was too slow 😅 Something that may help is changing your playback speed. On the videos settings, you can change to either speed it up or slow it down. I used that a lot when I was a beginner. I hope that helps because I really do want everyone to benefit from these tutorials! Thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@shelbyhughart1517]

Would 210 yards be enough??

[@creationsmisfit]

Hi! Yes that would be more than enough 🥰

[@titithelion77]

Pls how much yarn did you use

[@creationsmisfit]

Hi! I'm sorry I can't remember exactly, but maybe around 100 yards of size 6 yarn!

[@mariehoffman9308]

Your magic circle isn’t tightening because ur not crocheting through it correct. You should be doing ur single crochets over the 2 threads not the one. I work with this bulky yarn all the time and magic circles tighten up real easy.

[@creationsmisfit]

Hi, thanks Marie for the suggestion! I haven't had any of mine come undone and feel that they tighten well. I used to SC over both, but didn't like how the yarn was harder to pull then.

[@gin9562]

I agree with you Marie
