You know those ridiculously huge Hersey Kisses you can get that weigh like, a pound? Those were the inspiration behind this pattern! How else would you show your love for someone, aside from a solid pound of chocolate? There really isn't any other way... unless you crochet it instead!
This pattern is perfect for beginners because there isn't any sewing! You just need the following supplies:
Worsted weight yarn in white and any color of choosing
3.5 mm crochet hook
Stitch marker
Sewing needle
Scissors
Black thread
Fiber fill stuffing
Terms Used:
ch: chain
sc: single crochet
HDC: half double crochet
inc: increase
inv dec: invisible decrease
BLO: back loop only
I always use a Clover hook when I crochet, and my favorite yarn is Impeccable Loops and Thread from Micheals... there's so many colors to choose from!
Let's begin.
PAPER
Starting with a long tail, ch 13 then HDC in the second back bump from the hook and in all remaining bumps. Fasten off and leave at least a 4" tail.
KISS
R1: ch 2 then sc 6 in 2nd ch from hook (6)
R2: sc, inc (*3 times; 9)
R3: sc each st (9)
R4: sc 2, inc (*3 times; 12)
R5: sc each st (12)
R6: sc 3, inc (*3 times; 15)
R7: sc each st (15)
R8: sc 4, inc (*3 times; 18)
R9: sc each st (18)
R10: sc 2, inc (*6 times; 24)

R12: sc 3, inc (*6 times; 30)
R13: sc 4, inc (*6 times; 36)
R14: sc 5, inc (*6 times; 42)
Pause and grab the 'lil piece of paper you made and using a needle pull both ends through the top of the kiss and double knot the ends to secure it.
R15-19: sc each st (42)
Insert safety eyes between rows 16&17, 5 sts apart. Embroider mouth and pink cheeks!
R20: in the BLO sc 5, inv dec (*6 times; 36)
R21: sc 4, inv dec (*6 times; 30)
R22: sc 3, inv dec (*6 times; 24)
Begin stuffing and make sure the top gets enough too!
R23: sc 2, inv dec (*6 times; 18)
R24: sc, inv dec (*6 times; 12)
R25: inv dec each st (*6 times; 6)

What size eyes did you use?
row 20 says BLO - R20: in the BLO sc 5, inv dec (*6 times; 36)
do I continue in the BLO for the rest of the rows? or is it going back to normal sc?
R21: sc 4, inv dec (*6 times; 30)
R22: sc 3, inv dec (*6 times; 24)
Begin stuffing and make sure the top gets enough too!
R23: sc 2, inv dec (*6 times; 18)

R25: inv dec each st (*6 times; 6)
Thanks 😘
Instead of calling it a Hershey Kiss, try dew drop or something. Otherwise, you‘ll get a cease and desist notice from Hershey’s lawyers!
