Crochet a t-shirt yarn heart- Free pattern

Hello world!

The last months I´m crocheting a lot with t-shirt yarns making baskets, hearts (as you see), I even made a carpet for my living room. At this post I´m showing you a super-easy pattern to create chunky hearts of fabric yarns. I decorated my Christmas brunches with them (I don´t have a tree, I never had to be honest), but you can use them as you wish or imagine.

Let´s start:

Supplies:

Fabric yarn
Crochet hook 12mm (the number may verify depending on the yarn). That because some yarns are thinner than others or more elastic and you may need smaller hook. The hearts of the photo above are from 3 different types of yarns. The gray is not elastic at all and it is very chunky. The yellow mustard is also chunky but more elastic. And the blue is thin and elastic. To avoid using a different number of hooks I crocheted the chunky fabrics as they are, although they have a small difference at the size but that difference is not that obvious. If I crocheted the blue yarn with the 12mm hook as it is the heart would be more loosen and it would look rare, that´s why I found a trick! The trick is to crochet using two yarns of the blue fabric. That way the yarn becomes more chunky and it´s not that elastic. As you see, despite the trick the heart at the end became smaller than the others, but at least it is “steady” like the other two.
