how to crochet a heart-shaped cushion/pillow | cute crochet room decor tutorial 

Hi everyone, I’ve updated the written pattern on the blog with the stitch count and the corrected version for round 9. Based on recent activity, please don’t send me mean/rude messages on my social media platforms. I’ve acknowledged that I made a mistake in the written pattern for round 9 and made changes to the pattern.

I just used this tutorial to make a heart bag! Rather than stuffing for a pillow, I just connected and left an opening at the top and made some straps! 12 rounds is the perfect medium sized bag!!

This is one of the best tutorials I have seen! As a semi-beginner, I have struggled learning to read patterns and after this tutorial I think I have it down! Thank you!

thank you so much for this video! the way you explain things and how you have your pattern written is so user friendly and easy to follow! this pattern was super enjoyable to make and they're literally adorable and so fast to make! Such an awesome gift too, thank you!!!

I always end up clicking on your vids without realizing because they’re so aesthetic and unique! I love how gently and clearly you explain which is so helpful for a beginner like me!

hands down the best tutorial ever. I started crocheting 3 weeks ago and coming into this didn't really know how to read patterns. now coming out of it I can read written patterns so well. Thank you so much for being such a great teacher!!!

This is another project by you that I successfully completed! I love the way you film and explain your tutorials, it really makes it so easy for beginners to follow step by step! I made a bigger version of this pillow with plush yarn and it came out so cute! Perfect addition for my bed 😍 Thank you for sharing your patterns!

This was a fantastic tutorial! The idea is so cute, and you explain it really well. I'm not necessarily a beginner, but I never used a pattern before and you made it very simple to understand. Thank you and I'm excited for what you bring out next💜💞

This was so easy to make thanks to your narration i barely looked at the screen and just followed the narrations and its turning out amazing 😍❤

Thank you for this video! I wanted to make this for my partner for valentines! This is my first time ever crocheting something and I managed to get it done in 4 nights by having a lot of late nights... Doesn't look as clean as yours still looks nice. Thank you once again :)

so excited to make matching pillows for me and my s/o thank you sm for the tutorial!!!

THIS IS SO CUTE AHHHH I'm definitely doing this one as soon as I can, thank you so much luv

thank you so much for this! you are so detailed and i appreciate it so much as im still learning! your explanations on how to read patterns was so incredibly helpful, i really felt confident when reading the rest of your pattern! im obsessed with how mine turned out! thank you again!

Such a well written and explained tutorial! Noted I’m not a beginner, but I usually free hand most of my projects. But every once in a while I’ll find a tutorial I want to follow. This pulled me in. Great job!

I’ve been patiently waiting for this video as well as to finish up some pattern tests to finally make this! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Going to start this TODAY!!!🙌🏽❤️

this is the best tutorial of heart shaped crochet i’ve ever seen! thank you so much, you’re so sweet!

This was my first time using a pattern for anything and it worked well!! I’ve been crocheting for 4 and a half years but it’s all been tutorials with no pattern or freehand stuff, so i’m not a beginner but definitely a beginner to using patterns. Everything in the video was really well explained, and while sometimes my stitch count wouldn’t match up with finishing a round, it would be really easy to fix and it looked fine

Lovely tutorial, it turns out even cuter if you single crochet the two panels together and add ruffles to the edge!

Making this with chunky juicy couture yarn i got on sale last week! Decided to just try it out with one color because I wasn’t sure how hard it was gonna be. Ended up going perfectly so I’m gonna undo it and alternate my colors every two rows. This guide is super beginner friendly and you explain everything so well!

even tho i'm a beginner i made it thru the hole thing and thanks to you i learned how to read patterns 💗💗

That’s such a good learning video because there are so many Stiches and you show them so well and can see it so well! Awesome video ✨🩵

So beautiful, thank you for teaching how to read this pattern and showing how to create this lovely heart cushion.

Thank you so much that was a lifesaver for a gift for my mom for Mother’s Day it was a bit tricky but I got the hang of it almost immediately!!

Love your explanation of reading a written pattern. So helpful

Thank you for teaching me how to read the instructions. You're really good at explaining, and I learned a lot 😊❤

Your voice is so calming and this is such an amazing tutorial! Love it 🥰

I love your designs and love your tutorials they are SOOO easy to understand and how you explain everything is super good!! Thanks for your hard work and for sharing with us!! 🥹

i’m making this as a christmas gift for my sister who LOVES the color pink! instead of making a pillow though, i’m making it a little smaller and adding eyes and arms and legs to make it a little plushie, hopefully she likes it!! 💗

You have the cutest creations. So aesthetic ❤

Absolutely love this tutorial! Thank u for making it so simple to make a cute product

I found you on tiktok and saw some of the things you made and they are amazing, even my mom is impressed and she does more detailed things in crochet. Im rn making the heart pillow and I’ll do the heart tote bag next since they are so cute!

Hey Mahum! I absolutely love your videos. I took your pattern for this and created heart-shaped earmuffs and they're literally the cutest thing ever. Could you make a video of how to make a crochet scrunchie that's actually functional?

You say it’s not for beginners, but you explain it so well I still want to try

your videos are the best 🤍 thank u so much, the way you explain makes it so easy to follow along

Omg you are a life saver. Saw this pillow on pinterest and didn't know how to do. Thanksssss babe

Awesome it turned out very good... Tips for those who are struggling (based on my experience🤡👍) 1. Iron it if it's wobbly 2. If left with extra stitch single crochet them together (like at the middle curve of the heart) 3 . Don't fill it directly with cotton make a pillow then stitch it... All the best 🫂💖

Personally as someone who’s worked with very intricate patterns i by far have found this tutorial to be one of the hardest to follow definitely not for beginners and I find that your stitch count never matches mine no matter how many time I rewind and re do it

I have recently discovered your channel and I'm novice to knitting also plan on learning how to crochet.I'll definetly try to make these!

Omggg Tysm 💕💕like I just finished making my heart and it’s sooo cuteeee I love it .your tutorials always help me so much 💟💟 And for those who are having the problem with it not laying flat mine was also like that but after you slip stitch them together they look fine and sooo cuteeee💛🤍

tysm for all the hardwork put into this💌 I just started crocheting like a week ago and I was scared all the tutorials were too hard for me but you made it so easy and in addition, so aesthetic! tysm!

I absolutely love this tutorial! This was so easy to follow and i just started crocheting 2 months ago🤍🤍

First i wanna say thank u for the pattern, as a beginner it was easy to follow the written pattern because of the video and you made everything clear and understandable this is my first project and it turned out beautiful but i only did the front piece and sew a piece of fabrics for the back because i ran out of yarn but it was still pretty and my friend liked it so thank you sm🤍

this cushion is adorable and the video and written pattern are both great !

This is such a nice beginner friendly tutorial! I made it and it turned out absolutely fabulous :) its super aesthetic and not that time consuming (some crochet projects take up to months)

Cute!!! Pretty color combination too.

I'm always somehow a stitch short on the 9th round?

Even as an intermittent crocheter, the written pattern was confusing so I came here only to find out I was reading it wrong 🤦🤦😂😂 amazing pattern and clear instructions for when you're not rushing through it!! Mine came out lovely

Wow!!! So easy to follow! Thank you so much for this incredible pattern! ❤❤

You’re one of the best explainers in crochet.💕💕💕

My hearts came out all wobbly 😭 they won’t lay flat but I’m hoping when I see them together it won’t be noticeable

I'm so in love with your creations, they are way too cute! Thanks for the tutorial.

Helloo!! I just ended mine yesterday and it came out soo pretty💓 Thank you @mahum you're such a great tutor love your channel sm😚💕

ur so good at explaining, i can read patters now 🫶🏼

Thnk you so much for this video and the pattern, it’s super helpful 💖 your voice is so soothing, it feels like crocheting with a friend 🥺🫶🏻

thank you for writing out the pattern, makes it so much easier just to follow once you get going!! its coming out so cute so far

I love all of your patterns so much!

i started a crochet for a month and 3 weeks and i think this tut is very helpful it took me a day and a half to make it though,it was worth the wait!😌❤

im totally using this pattern to make heart shaped coasters!!

i'm a beginner and i keep messing up around the 3rd/4th row so i started making a coaster set instead and it's coming along nicely! hopefully i can revist this in a few months and make the full cushion

thank you!i learned how to read patterns from this video so i appreciate it🙏

literally amazing tutorial and has really helped me to read patterns tysm for the new pillow

I really like your work and videos, thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! especially in such cute, clear, aesthetic (etc.) ways! I really admire it, wish you success in everything💖💖💖

貴方は天才です👏 So cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
