Designer Notes

This pattern was originally created as a soft, heart-shaped crochet macaron — complete with stuffing and a gentle puff that mimicked a sweet treat. Over time, it became a beloved little keepsake that’s been used as a pin cushion, sachet, gift topper, and more. I love how playful and versatile it is, and I hope you do too!
