Crochet Heart Earring Pattern: Copa do Brasil Style
A pair of handmade crochet heart earrings captures the vibrant spirit of Brazilian football through color and design. Inspired by the Copa do Brasil, this pattern combines straightforward stitches and lightweight yarns, resulting in a delicate yet eye-catching accessory. The heart motif is accented with a contrasting border, and the finished piece can be embellished with beads and glitter for additional flair. This project is ideal for expressing pride, style, and a love for the game or Brazilian culture.
Pattern Basic Points
Noteworthy Features
- Heart shape forms the main motif: Built symmetrically from the center out.
- Dual yarn weights for texture: Green for the base and yellow for a crisp, delicate border.
- Single-layer structure: Lightweight and comfortable for earrings.
- Simple, quick construction: Project can be completed in under an hour.
- Customization: Add beads, glitter, or adjust color combination for your own variation.
- Optional hardening: A layer of glue gives structure and durability to the earring.
Special Notes
- Yarn Requirements: Use a fine green yarn for the base and a thinner yellow for the border; maintaining the difference in thickness helps the border neatly outline the heart anatomy.
- Key techniques: Magic ring, tall stitches (double treble), and symmetrical increases form the heart shape.
- Finishing: For the best results, block or press the earring flat before stiffening with glue.
- Customization: Add glitter or beads to enhance the festive, celebratory nature of the earrings.
- Care: Do not stiffen in direct sunlight to avoid color fading and uneven drying.
Skill Level
Beginner to Advanced Beginner
This earring pattern is suitable for crocheters with basic crochet experience, as it uses simple stitches with some attention to symmetry and basic assembly.

Detailed Pattern Instructions
Step 1: Heart Motif (Green Yarn)
- Begin with a magic ring (mr).
- Into the ring, work as follows:
- 1 sc (0:36–0:59)
- Ch 2 (acts as dc or height for tall stitches)
- 2 dtr into the ring (yarn over twice, insert, complete dtr) (0:59–1:41)
- 3 dc into the ring (2:01–2:36)
- 1 dtr into the ring
- Continue working the other side of the heart, mirroring the above:
- 3 dc
- 2 dtr
- Ch 2
- Complete the heart:
- Insert hook into the magic ring and pull up a loop (no yarn over), finish as a regular sc to sharply define the bottom of the heart (3:55–4:19).
- Pull the circle tight to close the magic ring and more clearly define the heart shape.
- Ch 1, cut yarn, fo. Weave in the short end with your needle to minimize bulk (4:36–5:05).
Step 2: Yellow Border
- Join yellow yarn inside the magic ring with a sc (5:28–6:00).
- With yellow, sc around the perimeter of the heart, inserting the hook into the center (“V”) of each green stitch, not around the posts (6:01–7:30).
- This method keeps the border delicate and tidy.
- At the heart’s top tip (formed by the dtr), ch 2 before continuing to the next stitch—this maintains the distinct cleft of the heart (7:33–7:55).
- Continue sc evenly around. If needed, work 2 sc into corners or the tightest curves for smooth rounding.
- Finish at the magic ring. Work a sl st into the first border stitch to join (8:35–9:20).
- Ch 3, cut yarn, fo. Pull to fasten.
Step 3: Assembly and Stiffening
- Attach a new piece of yellow thread if necessary.
- With a sewing needle, securely attach the earring hook to the top center (where the two chain stitches are at the upper cleft of the heart). (9:39–11:52)
- Optionally, add a bead or a trio of beads to the hanging loop for extra detail; thread them on before finishing the knot and gluing.
- Apply a tiny dab of silicone glue to the thread ends for extra hold and neatness.
- To harden:
- Pour a thin layer of white school glue onto a protected work surface.
- Dab or brush glue evenly onto the entire motif, front and back, especially the border.
- (Optional) While glue is wet, gently sprinkle green glitter over the green section.
- Lay the heart flat on plastic or parchment paper and let it dry completely in the shade.
- Avoid direct sun to protect color and prevent irregular stiffening.
- After drying, make sure the earring is flat and adjusts slightly if needed.
Assembly
After the motif has fully dried and set, check that the hook is firmly attached and trim any stray threads. Repeat the pattern for the second earring to create a pair. If gifting or selling, present on a cardstock earring holder, and consider spraying lightly with a fabric-safe fixative for extra durability.
Conclusion
This Copa do Brasil-inspired crochet earring design demonstrates how basic shapes and bold colors unite to create striking wearable art. The heart motif is quick, beginner-friendly, and endlessly adaptable through color or embellishments. The optional hardening ensures the earring keeps its form even after repeated use. Adapt this pattern for various occasions with different yarns, colors, or decorative touches, celebrating both culture and crochet with every pair.
