Crochet Heart Beat – Written Pattern

Outer Heart (Pipe Structure)

Foundation

Make a slip knot. Chain 5. Insert the hook into the first chain, pull both loops together, yarn over, and pull through to form a center ring.

Row 1

Work 6 single crochet stitches into the center ring. (6 sts)

Row 2

Make 1 single crochet on top of each stitch around. Continue working in continuous rounds without joining.

Repeat the same step by making one single crochet on top of each stitch for all rows. Maintain even tension to achieve a neat pipe-like structure.

Continue until the tube reaches the required length. In this project, approximately 50+ rows were worked.

Shaping the Outer Heart

Chain 1 and fasten off, leaving a long tail. Insert an 18-gauge wire inside the tube. Fold the tube in half and twist the top part slightly to secure the shape.

Using a tapestry needle, stitch the first and last rows together securely. Repeat stitching back and forth for strength. Tie a knot and hide the yarn tail.

Shape the heart by bending the wire gently. Trim excess wire at the bottom and twist the remaining wire to form a hook.

Attaching the 3D Heart

Making the Hanging Loop

Materials

Stitch markers
Tapestry needle
Scissors

Written Pattern (Based 100% on the video instructions)

🌟 Ribbing (Ear Padding Band)

Make a slip knot. Chain 20 + chain 2 (total 22). This creates the ribbing height for an adult size.

Row 1: Skip 3 chains from hook. Make 1 DC in the 4th chain. Continue making DC stitches across the foundation chain. (This forms Row 1 of the ribbing.)

Row 2: Ch 2, turn. Ignore the chain-2. Work 1 DC in the back loop only of each stitch across. Mark the first DC.

Row 3 onwards: Repeat Row 2 until the ribbing reaches approx. 18–19 inches when stretched (fits head size 22–23 inches).

Slip stitch the first and last rows together to form a loop.

Work 2 SC into each row end around the ribbing — 2 SC in chain-2 space, 2 SC in each DC row end. Join with a slip stitch.

Ch 3 = first DC
On top of the SC → work 5 DC (shell)
Skip 2
SC in middle DC of previous shell

Row 3 and onward:

Slip stitch into the middle DC of the shell. Repeat Row 1 and Row 2 alternately until you complete **10 rows** or reach **7 inches height**.

🌟 Decrease Rows (Shaping the Crown)

Row 11:

Ch 3 (counts as DC)
Invisible DC decrease over next 2 stitches
1 DC in next stitch
Invisible DC decrease
Repeat around

Row 12:

Repeat Row 11.

Row 13 (Optional but recommended):

Repeat same decrease pattern to reduce the crown opening.

Row 14 (Final Crown Row – Half Double Crochet):

Use HDC and HDC invisible decreases all the way around to tighten the opening at the top.

🌟 Closing the Top

Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Thread tapestry needle and weave in/out around last row. Pull tight to close the hole. Secure with knots and weave in tail.

🌟 Pom-Pom

Wrap yarn around fingers 30–40 times. Tie center, cut loops, brush lightly, trim into round shape. Attach to top of beanie and secure the ends.
