When I was little I made a billion Heart People out of construction paper. Yes. A billion.
They hung all over the house and my scissors could not move fast enough to keep up with how many hearts I wanted to adhere together.
Sadly my construction paper days are over, but not my days of dabbling in yarn.
And if you can make Heart People out of paper ~ well...why can't you make them out of yarn?
This is Miss Lovey.
And she was made out of hearts, of course.
This is my most favorite pattern for a crochet heart -- ever.
After making 2 of my most favorite crochet hearts, I stuffed it and edged it with single crochet in white.
Button eyes, embroidered floss mouth, 2 tiny hearts for a barrette & heart-shaped hands & shoes for Miss Lovey.
It took me awhile to figure out how to make the arms & legs. With paper, I would accordion-fold strips for the arms & legs. So what to do with crochet?
How 'bout corkscrew arms & legs?
It's been awhile since I have done this stitch but I watched this as a great refresher on how to crochet a spiral/corkscrew.
I think she is lovely.

Oh my, she is so cute! And her like reminds me of something... not in crochet, and not in paper either... I think I've seen them in a kid's TV-cartoon when I was little... just can't remember which one!

So cute, thank you! When I was a kid I loved drawing heart people that I "invented". Haha, fun to see I wasn't alone.
This is cute. Do you have a pattern for the hands & feet hearts? How did you attach the arms & legs? Thanks, Debbie
Here is the heart pattern for the hands & feet -- http://dejligheder.blogspot.ie/2012/02/pinterest-lovin.html
As for attaching the arms & legs -- I just kept a long tail when starting & then used that to sew/attach the legs/arms to the main heart.
♥Thank you so much for all of your kind words! ♥
So lovely!

It's funny, I used to draw heart people too. And I always made mine a boy, and his name was Heartman. My grandmother's maiden name was Hartman so I thought this was all very clever.
And I drew him exactly as you made your doll, with curly arms and legs. So pleased to see this. Thanks.
Oh my goodness! This is perfect. Since she was a baby, I have called my daughter "my little lovey." I am going to make this for her for Valentine's Day! Thank you!
Very cute!
