I was going to make something for Valentine’s day. At first, I made a simple heart, which was cute, but it needed the little extra, so I decided to make a cute face with big eyes. And then it turned into a ragdoll heart!

I really do enjoy making fun patterns! Fun and quick patterns my favorite to make and design and I hope that you’ll like it too! These crocheted hearts would make cute coasters as well! Just make one heart panel and crochet around it and you’re done!

These crocheted hearts are so fast to make and I think I needed less than an hour to make one. If you want to, you can make limbs as well, I haven’t done that on mine yet. You can use the same pattern for the limbs as I used on the ragdoll berry pattern last year.

You can make this crochet heart in all kinds of colors and also do striped ones. As always, I can’t wait to see your versions! Please tag me on Instagram or join our Facebook group and show us your finished ragdoll heart!

Big safety eyes

I used big safety eyes for this crochet heart. If you want the same look, you need to get the biggest size, 20 mm.

Assembly

Fasten safety eyes on the white eyeballs.

Fasten the eyes on one of the hearts and sew on a mouth. Lie the hearts on top of each other and crochet the pieces together. When you get to the tip of the heart, chain 3 and sl st in the first ch. This will make it pointier. Don’t forget to stuff lightly before closing.

Row 2-4: 1 sc in each stitch, ch 1, turn = 9 sc

Single crochet around the entire bow. Put 2 sc in each corner.

Sl st in the first sc and cut the yarn. Use a long strand to wire it firmly around the bow. Weave in ends but leave a long strand for fastening.
