We had snow recently, which is always a rare treat where I live in North Carolina. The near record breaking low temperatures made me want to bundle up with a good book and snuggle with my fur babies all day. You know what else I like to do during the cold, winter months? Crochet, of course! Maybe it’s because I often crochet scarves, gloves, hats and other items we typically use during winter? I’m really not sure why but every year once cold weather sets in I get busy crocheting.
I eyed this beautiful red yarn I had in my yarn stash. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner I thought it would be fun to play around with. I decided to come up with something love inspired and these sweet little hearts fit the bill.
It’s such a simple pattern, so even if you’re a beginner you can make these crochet hearts. You start with a short chain and all the stitches go into the first chain. It doesn’t get much easier than that! Let me share the easy pattern with you.
Materials needed to make a Crochet Heart:
- Red worsted heart (you can use pink or any color of your choice, of course!)
- Size H Crochet Hook
Crochet Heart Free Pattern:

So, what will you do with your little crochet heart? Whatever you wish! You can use it as an embellishment for scarves, drink cozies, and more. Here are just a few ideas to inspire you.

Attach to a string of yarn for a cute little garland.
Attach to an elastic band to add color to your planner!
Enjoy making your sweet little crochet hearts for Valentine’s Day, or any day of the year!
