Potted amigurumi Valentine heart crochet pattern

Heart

Using Iris crochet thread:

1. 6 sc in MR (6)
2. 6 inc (12)
3. (1 sc, 1 inc) x 6 (18)
4-5. 18 sc

Make 2 identical pieces. Cut the thread on one piece. Join the pieces by working 4 sc through the stitches of both pieces, as though sewing them together.

6. (13 sc, 1 inc) x 2 (30)
7. (14 sc, 1 inc) x 2 (32)
In rounds 6 and 7, place the increases at the joins between the two pieces.
8. (6 sc, 1 dec) x 4 (28)
9. (5 sc, 1 dec) x 4 (24)
10. (4 sc, 1 dec) x 4 (20)
11. (3 sc, 1 dec) x 4 (16)
Stuff the heart as you go
12. (2 sc, 1 dec) x 4 (12)
13. (1 sc, 1 dec) x 4 (8)
14. dec until closed

Be sure to leave an opening for the toothpick. Insert it and secure it with glue. Fasten off, trim the thread, and weave in the end. The heart is ready!

Grass

Using Iris crochet thread:

1. 6 sc in MR (6)
2. 6 inc (12)
3. (1 sc, 1 inc) x 6 (18)
4. 18 sc

Cut the yarn and fasten off.

Planter

YarnArt Jeans yarn:

1. 6 sc in MR (6)
2. 6 inc (12)
3. (1 sc, 1 inc) x 6 (18)
4. Shape the base. Work 18 sc in the back loops only
5-11. Work 7 rounds evenly: 18 sc in each round
12. 18 sl st

Fasten off, cut the yarn, and weave in the end. I placed metal pellets inside the planter to weigh it down, but you can skip this step. Fill the planter with aluminum foil and cover it with the grass piece. Sew or glue the grass in place. Insert the toothpick with the heart through the grass and into the foil. Secure it with glue if needed.
