Crochet Heart Trinket Dish

I have a love hate relationship with trinket dishes. I seem to either use them daily or to forget that they exist entirely. Beside my front door I have a frog dish which I store my keys in, and I swear I manage to keep using this because it’s so incredibly distinctive. With two fairly large frogs sitting on the side, it’s not like it’s easy to ignore. So I’ve had this idea to crochet some more trinket dishes, that are so unique that I can’t possibly forget to use them. The first is going to be this crochet heart trinket dish, which I’ll keep my wedding rings and earrings in when I’m out at jiu jitsu!

When I first designed this pattern I intended to just use a single yarn color, but when I’d nearly completed it the dish just didn’t pop in the way that I wanted to. So I added a last minute color change, and I think it’s made all the difference.

What I Used

I used Hobbii’s Cosy brand yarn to make my heart crochet trinket dish, but any cotton blend yarn should work just fine for this project. I’ve got to be honest with you, that company’s recent admission of their usage of AI has rather put me off the brand, so I would recommend swapping it out if you don’t have any already in your stash!

Remember, if you use a thicker yarn weight, make sure to size up your hook accordingly.

• 3.5mm crochet hook
• 10g pink DK cotton blend yarn
• 30g red Dk cotton blend yarn
• Yarn needle

I recommend using a yarn needle to sew in your loose ends, but you can do this with a crochet hook if you don’t have one handy. I just find it takes a bit longer!
