I’ve been so excited to do this pattern for you guys! You have no idea how long I’ve had this realistic amigurumi heart pattern in the works.
By now you should know about my love of dark things and gothic literature. However, you may not know that I’m a traditional artist and anatomy is something that I’m obsessed with. I would rather draw a skull than a face and a heart than a clothing. So, bringing that love into my crochet art is something I’m elated over. I hope y’all love this pattern as much as I do!
