I've bought the two book(let)s for zpagetti fans and in the one they have a crocheted heart. Of course it looked cute and of course I had to try it out. I did. Then took it apart and tried a normal pattern for a heart but still wasn't satisfied so I searched until I've found a heart where one doesn't add the bows of the heart at the end separately but crochet the heart in one go. I made two and then still had to stuff it. We've got two hearts from the Ikea I think 5 years ago. Big heart pillows with arms, very funny. The last days the two girls were actually leaving them all over the place or trow them in each others rooms so as to get rid of them. I got a bit tired of that so I got a brain wave. I cut of the arms (a bit gory to see lol) and then stuffed them both in the crocheted pillow. Now how's that for a frugal housewife:) he-he. I searched on youtube how to make a tassel and then added the tassel just for fun.
The backside are crocheted far neater than the front as I started with the front heart. I was so tired of taking the hearts apart as they're very large so got a bit lazy and just continued to crochet...

That is so cute!
Hi there Petra,
So funny... I'm Dutch, but came across your blog while in Australia. It's getting less sunny here now autumn is kicking in and I was thinking to pick up crochetting with Zpaghetti again. I came across your Zpaghetti Heart and just loved it. I've been doing some Google-ing but is seems like Zpaghetti is only available through the internet here and I can't seem to find the books either (I've got one at home). Any chance you can help me to the pattern/instruction for this heart? Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks! All best wishes, Debby debbybroeke@hotmail.com
Debby here is an all Australian site for Zpagetti: http://www.zpagetti.com.au/ here you can order the books: http://www.hoooked.nl/books.html
and in the second one they have a heart pillow or you can adapt any large heart pattern to make your own.
The heart is in the first Zpagetti book "Haken met zpagetti".I got a request that someone didn't find it in the second Zpagetti book and if it can be copied and mailed. Under no circumstance will I copy and mail this heart pattern. I've bought the book and it isn't fair to the authors of the book. You can find free heart patterns. Here are links your can searhc out: http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com/directory/hearts.php
I love pink and red together. This is really good combination. I love these cushion and love to have in my room.
