Crochet heart UK pattern that doesn't start with a magic circle

[MagnifyingGlassSearch]

My fingers simply cannot handle the magic circle, no matter how much I try. I need to churn out lots of this as quickly as possible. Would anyone be kind enough to link me to a UK pattern for a crochet heart that doesn't start with a magic circle please? Thank you!!

You could just chain 5 and join with a slip stitch and this will form your circulation and then you just work into the middle of it.

Circle not circulation

I never do a magic circle. The one and only time I made a blanket from granny squares using one, the flipping squares unravelled from the inside out AFTER I'd joined them together and darned in the ends so now I always chain 4 and join to make a ring. When I'm darning in the ends I use the one from the start to close the circle up so it isn't a gaping hole.

You lot are marvellous, this is perfect thank you.
Good old Attic 24, I love her instructions. I do want my heart to be a bit bigger though. How can I adapt it? Sorry, you can tell I'm a beginner, can't you?

I chain 3, put a piece of scrap yarn in a contrast colour across the stitches before joining to the first stitch, creating a very tight circle, then use the scrap yarn to guide my hook into the centre. It creates a very tight centre.

You can also chain 1 and do your stitches into that.

Try this one from happy Berry on YouTube.

Missis than you for that. I have made a couple of heard following that tutorial and they look nice. I don't understand why she is using US terminology though, as she's British.

This tutorial makes a lovely pattern but it is so fast I am struggling to follow it, plus it is US terms. Does anyone have the written pattern for it?

Can you not just google a us to UK crochet terminology?

A us double crochet is a UK treble etc.

No idea why she was using us as her beginners tutorials are all in UK

Yes I'll try that thanks, that pattern makes a nice heart too
