Top Yarn Recommendations
The pattern calls for medium-weight yarns like Hobbii Portobello because of their balanced texture and durability. It’s a blend of acrylic, cotton, and wool yarn that gives the design a soft yet structured feel needed for the “raised 3D effect”.
You may choose any of those exemplary color shades from Antique Rose, Wild Berry, and Misty Green or go for your own combinations.
How to Crochet the 3D Heart Granny Square
This granny square pattern comes with step-by-step instructions, helpful photos, and a video tutorial to make everything easier. You begin by crocheting the heart motif with the magic ring and then working double crochets and treble crochets.
Once the heart is finished, switch to the square base by crocheting in the back loops of the heart. This clever technique frames the heart beautifully. The last round “anchors” the heart in three places so that it will lie flat without folding or curling.
