Project introduction
This is a pattern overview, not a full tutorial. For a sweet, speedy Valentine season project, the Heart Ring by My Rainbow Crochet fits the bill. It was shared as the second of two patterns for a month of love, following the popular Love Magic Wand design. Start here: Original designer’s pattern and instructions.
💗 Inspiration 💗
The designer presents the Heart Ring as a playful variation on the earlier Flower Ring, released the previous spring. The goal was to keep the pleasing raised relief effect while shifting the motif to a heart and experimenting with color perspective.
✨ Some technical details about the Heart Ring ✨
This is an easy, quick make, and it is rated suitable for beginners. The design pairs a simple ring band with a small heart motif worked for a raised relief effect. It is also a clever way to use up those small leftover balls of cotton yarn that are too pretty to throw away. Mix and match a multitude of color combinations to suit your style.
Crochet one for yourself to add a cute handmade touch to your outfit, or make it for a little princess who loves dress-up jewelry. Because the piece is small, it works up fast, which makes it a lovely choice for gifts or party favors.
💖 Material you need 💖
Gather these supplies before you begin. Having everything laid out in advance keeps this quick project flowing, since the ring works up fast once you start.
- 2 mm crochet hook, or a hook size suited to your yarn
- Cotton yarn, in colors of your choice
- Wool needle
- Stitch markers
- Glue or textile adhesive, optional if you prefer gluing to sewing

Looking for more projects in the same magical spirit? The designer points readers toward a few companion patterns. Each one below gets its own spotlight with what makes it special and why it pairs well with the Heart Ring.
Love Magic Wand. The Love Magic Wand was the first of the two patterns shared for the month of love, and readers adored it. If you enjoyed the Heart Ring, this playful companion keeps the same whimsical mood.
Flower Ring. The Flower Ring is the earlier design that inspired the Heart Ring, first released the previous spring. It shares the raised motif idea on a simple band, so the two rings make a lovely matching set.
Ashana, Cupid elf. Ashana, the Cupid elf, is another magic themed project from the same designer. It leans into the love season storytelling of the Heart Ring, with a charming character twist instead of jewelry, making it a fun next make for Valentine season.
