Valentine’s day might be over but hearts are in season all year round! Here’s a quick and easy way to add some heart details to your work and yes, it’s just a single crochet stitch! Simply do the first yarn over with the color you want to use for the heart and then finish the rest of the stitch with the old color. | Yarnspirations

For patterns where you work in joining rounds, instead of spiral, here’s a trick on how to make your seams less visible. Instead of a standard joining slip stitch here’s what to do: - remove the hook from working loop - insert hook into first stitch, back to front. - grab working loop and pull through (keep it tight) - chain 1 and then place the first single crochet into that same stitch. | Yarnspirations
