Give a little piece of your heart to loved ones this Valentine's Day with my Easy Crochet Heart pattern. They're quick and easy and a great way to say I love you! I have an Easy Crochet Heart pattern for you today, and these are fun because you can add them to gifts, embellish hats, scarves and gift bags, make garlands and brooches, or pop one in a card for your loved one. I've tried many heart patterns over the years, and this one is quite easy and a mash up of a few different patterns. I've included lots of links and tips, so you feel supported along the way - even if you haven't crocheted before. It's a good pattern to practice and master a lot of the basic stitches you use in crocheting. They take around 15 minutes to crochet and you need to know the following stitches: Magic Circle Ch: Chain Stitch SC: Single Crochet HDC: Half Double Crochet DC: Double Crochet TR: Treble SS: Slip Stitch Click on the links to see how to work the stitches and the Magic Circle. You can use whatever yarn you want and choose a hook size to suit. Just remember the finished size of your heart will be bigger or smaller depending on the yarn ply and the hook size. For these little hearts, I used an 8ply cotton yarn, a 3.75mm hook and they finish around 2 1/2 x 2" - super cute and sweet! OK, let's crochet: Round 1: Make a magic circle, Ch 3, work into the ring : 3 TR, 3 DC, Ch 1, TR, Ch 1, 3 DC 3 TR. Ch 3 and pull the magic ring tight but not all the way, and SS in the centre of the ring. Tips: don't pull the ring too tight at the end of the round as you will need to SS rounds 2 and 3 into the centre of the ring. There is a Ch 3 at the beginning and end of each round to help shape the heart and you skip these as you work the next round. Round 2: 3 ch, skip the 3 ch from R1 and in the first stitch SC and HDC, 3 HDC in the next stitch, 2 HDC in the next stitch, SC in the next three stitches, SC in the chain space, Ch 1, DC in the top of the TR from R1, Ch 1, SC in the chain space, SC in the next three stitches, 2 HDC in the next stitch, 3 HDC in the next stitch, HDC and SC in the last stitch, skip the 3 Ch from R1 and SS in the centre of the ring. Tips: it's important not to forget those Ch 1 stitches either side of the bottom DC. I've marked them in bold so you remember! Ensure the tail of the magic circle is out of your way when slip stitching at the end of the round. Round 3: Ch 3, skip the Ch 3 from R2, 2 SC in the first stitch, SC in the next stitch, 2 SC in the next stitch, SC in the next 8 stitches, SC in the chain space, SC in the top of the DC from R2, Ch 1, SC in the chain space, SC in the next 8 stitches, 2 SC in the next stitch, SC in the next stitch, 2 SC in the last stitch, skip the 3 Ch from R2 and SS in the centre of the ring. Tips: don't forget the Ch 1 at the bottom of the heart, this helps with the shape. I've marked it bold so you remember. Ensure the tail of the magic circle is out of your way when slip stitching at the end of the round. Finishing: Cut yarn and tie off. Pull the magic ring tighter. Bury your threads securely. You can use this Working Away Yarn Ends Tutorial for help. Block your heart to flatten and shape. You can use this Blocking Tutorial to achieve the best results. And that's it! I will warn you, they are addictive and you'll have a pile in no time. I hope you enjoy crocheting these Easy Crochet Hearts. They're super cute and I'm sure you'll find tonnes of uses for them. I'm hanging mine on a tree branch Valentine's Day tree which will be the centre piece of our dinner table. Have fun! PIN FOR LATER: Happy crocheting :)

Zacchaeus is a real-life example of the power that Jesus has to change our hearts. The goal in this lesson is for the children to feel the darkness and ugliness of sin, and then experience the joy and miracle of forgiveness when Zacchaeus meets Jesus! Bible Truth: Jesus has the power to forgives my sin. Bible Story: Jesus changes Zacchaeus' heart. Bible Study: Luke 19:1-10; I Corinthians 5:7 teach cha-ching! To tell the story of Zacchaeus "hands-on" style gather up these items: children's picture Bible, or flannel graph scenery and characters a small bag or coin pouch loose change a cut-out of a black heart and a white heart Peak your class's interest in your lesson by shaking the bag, and letting them guess what is inside. They will probably easily guess that you have money in your bag! Pass out a coin for each child to hold throughout the lesson. (Remind them that they should never put coins in their mouths!) Read the story of Zacchaeus from a children's picture Bible, or tell it in your own words with visuals, such as flannel graph. Introduce Zacchaeus as a short man, who was a tax collector. His job was to collect money that people had to pay to the king. But Zacchaeus took more money from people than he was supposed to. If someone was supposed to pay one coin to the king, Zaccahaeus made them pay two coins, and he would keep one of the coins for himself. That is called stealing. Zacchaeus was rich and had lots of money, but nobody wanted to be his friend because he stole money from them. He had a dark sinful heart. Hold up the dark heart as you describe Zacchaeus' dark and sinful heart. Go on to tell the rest of the story of Zacchaeus meeting Jesus, as you show pictures from the children's Bible or manipulate flannel graph characters. At the conclusion of the story, talk about how amazing it is that Jesus changed Zacchaeus' heart! He used to be a man that stole people's money, but now he gives his money away to people! Jesus did a miracle! Only Jesus has the power to take a dirty, sinful heart and give us a new clean heart! Zacchaeus repented, he turned away from his sin, and followed Jesus! Hold up the white heart as you describe how Jesus changed Zacchaeus' heart. Lead the class in a prayer, asking Jesus to forgive their sin, and change their hearts so they can follow Jesus like Zacchaeus. After you pray, collect the coins from the children. Tell them that they are giving the money back just like Zacchaeus did after he repented. sing Zacchaeus (was a wee little man) is a Sunday School classic, and the perfect song to reinforce the story they just heard. Be sure to do some actions with the song! The Repent Song is the same song we learned along with the story of John the Baptist, so it's great review and repetition. Follow the link for the lyrics and actions. The Bath Song is a great song about how Jesus washes away our sin with "super soap." The "call back" format makes it really easy to sing along! craft color & paste Here is a coloring sheet from Sermons 4 Kids of Jesus talking to Zacchaeus in the tree. Cut pieces of green paper, or green tissue paper into leaves for the children to glue onto the tree. zacchaeus meets Jesus A good craft is one that helps children retell the story that they learned.

Cut on the dotted line, and cut out Zacchaeus. Punch a hole at the top and bottom of the tree. Cut out approximately 1" x 1" squares of green tissue paper. Cut yarn into 16" lengths. In class, provide glue for the children to attach the squares of tissue paper to the tree as leaves. Lace the yarn throught the holes and tie it behind the tree. If using the black and white version, provide crayons for the children to color Jesus and Zacchaeus. Tip: Tie the yarn near the top of the page, and attach Zacchaeus to the bottom of the page. It is easier for the kids, if you let them glue on the leaves before you add the yarn. Use clear tape to attach Zacchaeus to the yarn. Tip: Set the clear tape under the yarn, sticky side up, and then press Zacchaeus onto the tape. Move Zacchaeus up and down the tree to retell the story! up and down the tree For this craft you will need: this tree pattern this Zacchaeus pattern green construction paper jumbo craft sticks yarn scissors hole punch crayons glue tape To prepare, cut out the top, leaf portion of the tree pattern, and use it to trace onto green construction paper.
