Sweet Cherry Hearts

Sweet, quick, and incredibly versatile! This pattern shows you how to crochet adorable heart-shaped cherries in two different sizes. Depending on the size and materials you choose, they make a perfect sensory baby rattle, a trendy bag charm, or a cute keychain.

It’s an ideal stash-buster project—you only need small amounts of red and green cotton yarn!

The pattern includes: Two sizes: Large (approx. size for rattles) and Small (mini version). Two stem options: Instructions for a sturdy I-cord or a simple Chain/Slip stitch stem. Integrated leaves: No-sew leaf design that is worked directly into the stem.

Skill level: Advanced Beginner / Intermediate.

Materials: Yarn: Sport weight cotton yarn (2 colors of red, 1 green). Hook: 2.0 mm (or size needed to obtain a tight gauge). Other: Fiberfill, tapestry needle, and a wooden ring/rattle insert (optional).
