Crochet Heart Pattern

Crochet Heart Pattern - Free on EverythingEtsy.com

Free Crochet Heart Pattern

Every year around Valentine’s Day I make these sweet little crochet hearts…they’re one of my favorite projects!  Crochet hearts are perfect for banners, card decorating, gift toppers, brooches, lunch box notes and just a little something sweet to let someone know you love them.   I sprinkle them on tables and string them up all over…it’s my simple way of decorating for Valentine’s Day.  It’s also a fabulous way to use up yarn scraps!

I thought I’d share my simple crochet heart pattern with you and help you spread the love.  Please don’t be afraid if you are just learning to crochet…this is the perfect project for you!

We just added a video to go along with this tutorial…click here to see the Crochet Heart Pattern Video!

  • Treble Crochet the next 3 into your first chain {the very first one!}
  • Chain 1
  • Double Crochet 3 {into the first chain}

  • Chain 3
  • Then insert the hook through the center {you will see it easily} and slip stitch

    Help! I’ve only just learnt crochet (today) & I don’t understand the instructions… How do I keep making rows into the first row when this row was used up with the first set of triple crochets? I figured I could then crochet into the other side of the first chain for the first set of double crochet, but just can’t get my head around around how to keep using the first chain for each row when I’ve already done both sides of it. Hope this makes sense, would love some help from anyone who knows how to make these! 🙂

      Don’t worry, I finally figured out that it meant the first chain link (ie keep going back through the same first loop) rather than working along the chain…

      Make a tight circle in the center by wrapping it around your hook once and tying a knot. That’s the easy way. 🙂

    Found this tutorial on Pinterest! Just in time to make some little hearts for my co-workers. For the first time ever in our office, we are each creating Valentine boxes for our desks. These will be perfect, and even tho I don’t plan on signing the notes that go with them, they will know who they are from! I’m a beginner in crochet, but with the tutorial I think I can totally do these! THANK YOU!

    When I do this, my hearts look more like circles and I end up with a sizable hole in the middle, though. What can I do to fix these issues?
    Thank you!

      Hi Caroline! I have no idea why you would end up with a circle…yikes! Maybe you should click on the link to the crochet heart video we just added. That way you can follow along and make sure you’re getting the stitches right. You can do it…don’t give up!

    I love these hearts and this is the first pattern where I found success getting an actual heart shape. THANK YOU!! One question – on the video you do not chain one after the single treble that forms the point of the heart but the pattern includes that step. Which is correct or is it a style choice? Thanks again for both the pattern and especially the video. So kind and generous of you to provide for free!!!

Add them to everything! I really appreciate you leaving a comment about how yours worked out.

    These are darling hearts. The pattern is easy to follow and they are easy to make. I have varied the sizes by using different size crochet hooks and doubling up yarns of the same wright but diferrent colours. (Two strands of #4 using a 6.0 mm (H) crochet hook makes a nice stiff heart). Thank you so much. These are pretty, fun and satisfying to make.

    Dear Kimberly, Just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing your patterns! I am a brand new never before future crocheter. I have done finger knitting, some loom, arm knitting and finally needle knitting which I’m still in the process of learning more about. One question, do you have a list of some of your favorite crochet recommendations? I saw something about Vanna’s choice Lion Brand yarn but wondered if there were specific colors you use often. I went on Amazon and the choices were kind of overwhelming! Also, I only have one crochet needle at this point, and no idea on it’s size. If you have a list on a certain post I would appreciate it, or any fellow crochet bloggers you maybe follow to suggest-Thank you!

    I am teaching myself to crochet and I’ve made tons of these! They’re so fun! I’ve made WAY more than I can use so I’m hiding them all over the place. Dropping them into random shopping carts, leaving them here and there in lockers rooms and in the pockets of clothes in Target. It’s amazingly fun!!
