Our Bulky & Quick Ami Crochet Hearts are the perfect project for celebrating love—whether for Valentine’s Day, a baby shower, or simply to show someone you care. These charming hearts make delightful additions to your holiday decor, allowing you to spread cheer throughout your home.

Available in four sizes, you can create a lovely variety that suits your style and space. The pattern includes three bulky sizes made from three strands of worsted weight yarn, as well as a mini size crafted from just one strand of worsted yarn. This mini version is ideal for embellishing hats or creating a heart garland.
The pattern is designed using Mary Maxim Maximum Value yarn, which comes in gorgeous shades of pink.

Easy Crochet Hearts
If you know me, you know I’m not one for tedious, tiny details—so trust me, these crochet hearts are anything but! They’re bulky, quick, and fun to make.
After seeing so many requests for a Valentine’s Day gnome, I decided to dress it up with a pink hat and a cute heart embellishment. But I couldn’t stop there! I had to create these plush, squishy hearts to go along with it.
I always feel a little sad taking down my Christmas décor, so adding these hearts and gnomes brought a bit of warmth and love into my space. The idea for the big hearts was actually inspired by my hat design! ❤️
The Mini Heart is created using the small heart pattern, but instead of holding three strands together, you’ll use just one strand of yarn and a smaller hook size.
Dress your Holiday Gnomes up with a pink hat and add the mini heart! I used Cherry Speckle and Rosebud Speckle for the hats; the heart is Brava in Red.
