We define two transforms of non‐conformal harmonic maps from a surface into the 3‐sphere. With these transforms one can construct, from one such harmonic map, a sequence of harmonic maps. We show that there is a correspondence between harmonic maps into the 3‐sphere, H ‐surfaces in Euclidean 3‐space and almost complex surfaces in the nearly Kähler manifold  S 3 × S 3 . As a consequence we can construct sequences of H ‐surfaces and almost complex surfaces.
