This picture shows crocheted heart coasters and a small crochet bowl (made from the same stitch, just continued upward). Here’s how to make both, step by step 🧶💗
PART 1: CROCHET HEART (VERY DETAILED)
Materials
- Yarn: cotton or acrylic (medium / 4-ply)
- Hook: 3.5 mm – 4 mm
- Scissors
Crochet Abbreviations
- ch = chain
- sl st = slip stitch
- sc = single crochet
- hdc = half double crochet
- dc = double crochet
- tr = treble crochet
ROUND 1 (Center Circle)
- Make a magic ring
- Wrap yarn around fingers
- Insert hook, pull up loop
- Ch 3 (this counts as 1 dc)
- Into the ring:
- Make 11 dc
- Pull ring tight
- Sl st into the top of ch-3
👉 You now have 12 dc
ROUND 2 (Make Circle Bigger)
- Ch 3
- In same stitch: 1 dc
- In next stitch: 2 dc
- Continue 2 dc in every stitch
- Sl st to top of ch-3
👉 You now have 24 dc
ROUND 3 (Make the HEART SHAPE)
First side
- Ch 3
- In next stitch: 1 dc
- In next stitch: 2 dc
- Repeat this (1 dc, 2 dc) 5 times
Top dip of the heart
In the next stitch, make:
- 2 tr
- ch 2
- 2 tr
(This makes the small V at the top ❤️)
Second side
- (2 dc, 1 dc) repeat 5 times
Bottom point
In the next stitch:
- 1 dc
- 1 hdc
- 1 sc
Sl st to next stitch
Fasten off
🎉 Heart coaster finished!
PART 2: TURN HEART INTO A SMALL BOWL
ROUND 4 (Make it Stand Up)
- Join yarn anywhere on heart
- Ch 1
- Sc in BACK LOOP ONLY (BLO) all around
- Sl st to join
👉 This forces the heart to bend upward
ROUND 5–7 (Build Bowl Height)
For each round:
- Ch 1
- Sc in both loops all around
- Sl st to join
(Repeat 2–4 rounds depending on bowl height)
FINAL EDGE (Optional)
- Ch 1
- (sc, ch 1, skip 1 stitch) repeat
- Sl st and fasten off
IMPORTANT TIPS (VERY HELPFUL)
✔ Use tight stitches
✔ Cotton yarn = strong shape
✔ Smaller hook = firmer bowl
✔ Push bowl shape gently with fingers
