What Supplies Will I Need To Make A Crochet Heart Pattern?

You will need just some basic supplies to make a crochet heart pattern. I will help you to gather these supplies and explain their functions shortly below. Let’s take a look:

Material NameFunctions
YarnUse any yarn you like. But, if you are a beginner, I will suggest you choose the worsted weight yarn or the cotton yarn.
Crochet HookThe kind of yarn you’re using determines the hook’s size. A hook size of 5mm (H-8) or 4.5mm is typically advised for medium-weight yarn. The recommended hook size can be found on the label of the yarn.If you want a tighter stitch, you might need a smaller hook for smaller hearts.
ScissorsAny scissor will do as long as you feel comfortable enough to use it and trim the end properly.
Darning NeedleAfter finishing your crochet heart pattern, you’ll need this to tie up any loose ends.
Stitch MarkersIf you’re working on a more complicated crochet heart pattern, arrange some stitch markers to keep track of the stitches easily.
Embroidery Thread (optional)Want to add some features like eyes, mouth, etc. to the crochet heart? Then add the embroidery needle and thread to your bucket list.
Stuffing or Filling (Optional)Do you want to make a puffy and fluffy crochet heart? Then you will need some fiberfill or any other stuffing material.

What Is the Best Yarn For Making a Crochet Heart Pattern?

Are you feeling down about which yarn you should use for a crochet heart pattern? Do not be disheartened! Go with any yarn you want to use to make the crochet heart pattern. 

However, use worsted weight yarn #4 if you are a beginner if this is your first crochet item. Well, let’s look at some more recommended yarns and their suitable applications.

Acrylic Yarn

Acrylic yarn is very popular among the crochet community thanks to its long-lasting and low maintenance. Also, it is less expensive and comes in a large variety of colors. Additionally, you can find it in any shop. So, it is a great choice for beginners.

However, in contrast to natural fibers, it could feel less soft to some people.

Cotton Yarn

Cotton yarn is a natural yarn and thus it is safe to use. It is great for breathability and gives a drape look. Cotton yarn also beautifully displays stitch definition, giving your crochet hearts a polished appearance. However, some beginners may find cotton less elastic than acrylic.

Wool Yarn

Want a chunky and warm crochet heart? Then use the wool yarn. It is also a natural yarn and due to the density, it holds the shape properly. However, wool yarn is a bit expensive relative to acrylic and blend yarns.

Other Yarns (Blended and Bulky Yarns)

Blended yarns are usually made by mixing some natural yarn and synthetic yarns. They will cost you fewer pennies and also they have great durability. But, if you have an allergy, stick with the natural yarn.

Bulky yarns or weight 5 yarns are the best choice for larger projects. Are you thinking about making a long crochet heart to use as a decorative item? Then use the bulky yarn to make it.
