Row 2: Work 2 SC in sc from row 1. CH1, turn. (2 sts)

Row 12: 1 SC in each sc.
Fasten off. You can embroider on some eyes and mouth like the pillow in the photo, or you can
just leave your heart as it is.

Once you have two flat hearts, sew up the edges (it’s a good idea to pin the hearts together
first). When the pillow is almost completely seamed shut, stuff it generously with poly-fil. For this
step, its important to stuff the pillow as evenly as possible. You can mould the shape of the heart
with how you stuff it – so take the time to do this part right. It will make all the difference in how
your finished pillow looks and feels. Once you are happy with the shape, and have made sure that
there are no lumps, finish sewing up the pillow. Fasten off and pull in all loose ends to the inside with a crochet hook.
I hope you enjoyed this pattern!
