How to make a magic circle
Bring the tail through to the front of your fingers, wrapping the wool from the ball around under and behind.
Now to make the crochet heart
You will need to do three trebles into the magic circle. Ensure that you keep the tail to the left and that you incorporate it into the stitches.
Then you will crochet 3 doubles into the circle. Finishing with a treble at the point.
Now you work your way back up in reverse. 3 doubles, followed by 3 trebles. Then chain three and push your hoot through the centre of the tightened crochet heart and create a slip stitch.
Tie it to the back with a half reef knot, left over right and under. This way you will have a smooth peachy bump either side of the heart.
For me this is an ideal beginners project but you could try to Crochet Face Scrubbies for your next project, or even go a slightly higher level with Waffle Stitch Crochet as I love the effect.
We have lots of other ideas you may love including Peg Loom Rag Rug as a fun traditional way to use up scrap materials.
