How to Crochet a Heart Trinket Dish | Beginner - friendly Tutorial + Free Pattern



Hello! 

Create a beautiful little heart-shaped trinket dish which is perfect for holding jewelry, keys, or other small treasures. This beginner-friendly pattern is quick to make and great for gifting or adding a handmade touch to your space.

The dish is worked in the round using simple stitches, gradually forming a lovely 3D heart shape. You’ll start with a magic ring, build the shape with double and treble crochets, and finish with neat textured rounds for structure and stability.

You can easily customize the size or color to suit your style, use soft pastel shades for a delicate look or bold colors for a modern touch 💕

There is a detailed tutorial for the same on my YouTube Channel which you can check out here.

  • Yarn - Medium (Weight 4) acrylic yarn (<50 grams)
  • Fine yarn in pink for the border
  • Hook – 5mm and 4.5mm crochet hooks
  • Scissors
  • Stitch Markers
  • Yarn needle
You can use any yarn with the recommended hook size.

  • ch – chain
  • sc – single crochet
  • hdc – half double crochet
  • dc – double crochet
  • tr/trc – treble (triple) crochet
  • sl st – slip stitch
  • st – stitch

Pattern:

Using 5mm hook

Round 1:

  • Start with a magic ring and ch2 (this does not count as a stitch).
  • Into the ring, work:
    • 4tr, 4dc, 1tr, 4dc, 4tr, ch2, then sl st into the magic ring.
  • Pull the ring tight and fasten off.
  • You should have 17 stitches total, plus the two ch-2 spaces at the beginning and end.

Round 2:

  • Work:
    • sc in ch-2 space, sc, 2 hdc, 3 dc, 3 dc, 2 dc, 2 dc, dc, dc, [dc, tr, dc] in next st, dc, dc, 2 dc, 2 dc, 3 dc, 3 dc, 2 hdc, sc, and sc in the last ch-2 space.
  • sl st to join.
  • You should have 35 stitches in total.

Round 3:

(You may ch1 at the start if needed for height.)

  • Work the following pattern around:
    • sc, sc, sc, 2 hdc, [hdc, dc], 3 dc, 2 dc, 2 dc, dc, dc, 2 dc, dc, 2 dc, dc, dc, dc, dc, [dc, tr, dc], dc, dc, dc, dc, 2 dc, dc, 2 dc, dc, dc, 2 dc, 2 dc, 3 dc, [dc, hdc], 2 hdc, sc, sc, sc.
  • sl st to join.

Round 4:

Turn your work

  • Working in Back Loops Only (BLO):
    • ch 1, hdc in each stitch around, sl st to join.
  • (53 hdc total)

This round starts forming the sides of the trinket dish.


Round 5:

  • ch 1, hdc in each stitch around again, sl st to join.
  • Still 53 hdc

Round 6:

Switch to 4.5mm Hook:

  • ch1, hdc in each stitch around, sl st to join.
  • Total of 53 hdc
  • This shrinks the top part of the dish.

Round 7:
  • Join pink yarn and continue using a 4.5mm hook.

    • sc in each stitch around, sl st to join.
    • Fasten off and weave in all ends neatly.
    • You’ll have 53sc by the end of this round.
