All My Hearts Cushion – Crochet Pattern
Hi friends! My name is Elisa from Strings and Cuddles and I’m back again for another crochet pattern!
Today, I am so thrilled to share with you my very pattern of this year, the All My Heart Cushion! Since Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, I decided to create a heart-shaped cushion. This quick and easy project is perfect for a last-minute project that you can add to your home decoration.
I have a few skeins of red worsted weight yarns in my stash for years now. I didn’t know what to make with them until it dawned on me that by using them together – 4 strands held together, I can turn these worsted weight yarns into a super bulky or jumbo weight. This way, it would be faster to finish my project. With that being said, different yarn weights will give different dimensions for your project.
So, without any further delay, let’s get started!

NOTES
- Read the pattern carefully before starting.
- The beginning ch 1 does NOT count as a stitch.
- I recommend using a stitch marker to mark the beginning of the round. Remember to move the stitch marker as you progress. You may also use stitch markers to hold the two panels together when seaming the two pieces.
- When you see something like this 2 HDC, it means you have to work 2 HDC in the same stitch, and when you see something this HDC 13, it means you have to work HDC in the next 13 stitches.
- This Heart cushion pattern can be done with any yarn weight. You may adjust your crochet hook size depending on the yarn weight you decided on using. Remember that the size or dimension of your cushion will be altered when you change your yarn weight and hook size.

FINISHING
With both RS facing out, assemble the two panels together. You can put stitch markers (space them out around the heart) to hold the panels together as you seam closed your cushion.
Thread 2 long strands of yarn into your tapestry needle and seam your panels together starting at the bottom (pointy) part of the heart. Whip stitch (or use whatever seaming method you prefer) to join your panels. You may stuff your cushion with Poly-Fil Fiber as you go. Leave about 3 to 4 inches opening, fill your cushion with Poly-Fil Fiber thoroughly and then continue seaming to close the opening. Weave in all ends.
Optional: Make some pompoms and attach them around your heart cushion. I made and attached 20 pompoms around my heart cushion.
All done! Enjoy your new heart cushion!
