By the way, did you know that heart is associated with Valentine’s Day as it is considered the source of all human emotions?
Well, with this in mind, I hope you enjoy the pattern and that you take good care of your little heart! And the heart of your valentine!
Let’s begin!
The first pattern is the complete red heart, the second pattern is the rainbow heart and the last pattern is the Yin-Yang amigurumi heart. Scroll down and find the one you want!
If you are an amigurumi beginner, here is a couple of links that will be useful for you to complete your crochet heart. But even if you are already familiarized with crocheting rounds, I still suggest you take a look at the perfect way to finish your amigurumi. I learned a great technique for finishing off just 3 years ago (remembering that I crochet since kid…), but I’m curious to keep searching for ways to improve my crochet. There is always something new to learn!
- Easy way to make a magic ring
- How to do single crochet (SC)

I will leave you here also some things to keep in mind when crocheting amigurumi. It is always good to remember a few tips to make your stuffed toy prettier!
TIPS:
- Most important to remember is to keep your stitch with a tight tension, this way, you won’t have any see-through gaps.
- To help me keep my stitches tight, I prefer using yarn for a thicker needle than the one I would be using for the pattern.
- Always count your stitches after every row, so you will make sure to have the total amount of stitches. Better to count now, then get lost later!
- Use a piece of yarn to mark the last stitch, so you won’t miss where the beginning and end of your row is!

VALENTINE Yin and Yang HEART FREE AMIGURUMI PATTERN

- Black and white lightweight yarn.
- Stuffing material.
- Scissors.
- 2mm crochet needle.
Finish size: about 7cm
With white yarn start,
- 1 row 6sc in a magic ring
- 2 row 6inc Total 12sts

Cut the yarn and fasten off. If you want, add on top of the detail, a piece of yarn making a loop, so your heart has a hanger!
Make another detail, using black color and following the instructions from rows 1 to 5.
Don’t fasten off the second piece.
Insert the loop of your needle inside one stitch of the finished piece and move for row 4.
The trick here for having a straight line separating the colors is to think of each 24 stitches as a separate detail. Whenever is a white stitch, you crochet with white color, when you arrive in the black stitch, crochet with black color. Always.
The same goes for the decrease. You need to repeat 6 times in each row where 3 will be in black and 3 will be in white.
NOTE: pay attention to leave enough yarn inside the heart when making the color changes. Otherwise, when you stop for stuffing, the strings will be pulling connecting one side to another. Also, go stuffing the heart as you crochet. This will help to have the perfect size of yarn when making the color changes.
