What, two posts in one day? Yes indeed! Because Valentine’s Day can’t be held to just one post, I had to share my Sweetheart Earrings and Amigurumi patterns with you as well!
I usually like to put out some Valentine’s Day patterns in January but this year my dance card was full so I had to put out one the first week of February, to give people some time to work on them. Ya know? And I really wanted to make the Love Struck Beanie and I thought, why not two patterns?
I’ve been wanting to make another pair of earrings for a while and I thought a squishy pair of earrings for Valentine’s Day was just the thing. I get to wear them all over the place, so do you. Win win, right? And these are so fast to make, you could have them done in one evening for sure. And because I know a lot of people don’t like earrings (using thread and tiny tiny hooks is a pain, believe me I do get that) I also made it in worsted weight yarn with a G hook and the ami turned out fantastic.
So I hope you find the time to knock out a couple earrings or some hearts before Valentine’s Day rolls around. Or anytime, really. Who say’s hearts are for Valentine’s Day only? Not me, that for sure. Same goes for chocolate!
Anyway, I hope you like today’s double post and find a new Valentine’s Day pattern to enjoy!

Notes
- The individual hearts are worked in 2 sections, 2 pieces: the Main Body and the Right/Left Humps. The Main Body is worked to the from the point up to the Right Hump and the Left Hump is added separately next to the Right Hump. You then make 2 of the individual hearts to make the earrings/ami 3D, securing them together with a border that works through both pieces.
- Below the instructions are the same for earrings or the ami, it’s the difference in materials and hook that will give you different results.
- The ch-1 at the beginning of the rows does not count as a stitch.
