Crochet Heart Beat – Written Pattern

Outer Heart (Pipe Structure)

Foundation

Make a slip knot. Chain 5. Insert the hook into the first chain, pull both loops together, yarn over, and pull through to form a center ring.

Row 1

Work 6 single crochet stitches into the center ring. (6 sts)

Row 2

Make 1 single crochet on top of each stitch around. Continue working in continuous rounds without joining.

Repeat the same step by making one single crochet on top of each stitch for all rows. Maintain even tension to achieve a neat pipe-like structure.

Continue until the tube reaches the required length. In this project, approximately 50+ rows were worked.

Shaping the Outer Heart

Chain 1 and fasten off, leaving a long tail. Insert an 18-gauge wire inside the tube. Fold the tube in half and twist the top part slightly to secure the shape.

Using a tapestry needle, stitch the first and last rows together securely. Repeat stitching back and forth for strength. Tie a knot and hide the yarn tail.

Shape the heart by bending the wire gently. Trim excess wire at the bottom and twist the remaining wire to form a hook.

Attaching the 3D Heart

Click here for 3D Heart Pattern Video

Using the long tail from the 3D heart, attach it to the hook at the center of the outer heart. Secure with knots and hide the excess yarn inside the heart.

Making the Hanging Loop

Insert the hook into one of the top stitches. Pull out the yarn and make a long chain. Slip stitch into a nearby stitch to form a hanging loop. Chain 1 and fasten off.

Hide all remaining yarn ends neatly inside the project.

Helpful Tips

Keep your joining slip stitch relaxed to avoid a visible seam.
Those FLO and BLO rounds create crisp ledges—don’t skip them.
Make two Bishops in each color to complete your set.
