Chocolate isn’t the only way to show someone you care this Valentine’s Day . Stitch up a bunch of crochet hearts — you can make ’em using scrap yarn — and attach them to whatever gift your loved one would like best.
Crochet Heart Pattern
Level: Advanced-beginner
What You Need
- Cloudborn Superwash Merino Bulky (larger heart shown in Sky Blue)
- US L-11 crochet hook
- Tapestry needle
Pro Tip This is a perfect project for any yarn scraps you have on hand. We worked up a version in both fingering and bulky weights, and both look amazing. As long as you match your hook size and yarn weight, the sky’s the limit.
Gauge
Gauge is not important here!
Finished Size
Your finished heart will vary in size depending on your yarn and hook combo. Experiment and have fun!

Share the Love
Have more hearts than you know what to do with? We’ve got ideas!
Be mine. Attach a sweet note to your heart and give it as a valentine.
Fill it with gifts. Crochet two identical hearts, then use a yarn needle to seam around the bottom of the heart. Leave the top open so you can tuck in fun Valentine surprises like candy, lip balm or another tiny gift.
Wear it on your sleeve. Glue or sew a pinback to your heart, then literally wear your heart on your sleeve.
Make a garland. String the hearts on a long strand of yarn, or chain a long strand with your crochet hook for something sturdier. Sew or thread the hearts onto the long strand, then hang it somewhere awesome.
Yarn bomb it. Tie long strands of yarn to three or four sections of the heart, then tie the heart to a chain-link fence. It’s sure to make passersby smile!
thank you can’t wait

Love the suggestions especially the yarn bomb it
So in round 2 you don’t put anything in previous ch1 spaces?
Why do we even chain 1 before and after tr?
Round 1. Sl St to top of first tr to join? Or in the center?
Look forward to heart pattern, I am new to crocheting

Would like to learn to crochet triangle shawl
Looking for knitting
I need to know how to chain in a chain stitch. “ in 4th chain from hook, ch 2”. Should that be 2 sc? Or a sc and a ch?
Crochet everything in the parentheses in the 4th chain from the hook THEN chain 2. (3 tr, 3 dc, ch 1, tr, ch 1, 3 dc, 3 tr) in 4th chain from hook, ch 2, slip… It’s going to make your inner circle. Hope this helps! 🙂
Thank you both. That makes sense, just missed the directions doing it in my head! That does help😉
Thanks that really helped me
it’s the part in parentheses ahead of the “in 4th chain from hook” that you do in the 4th chain — “(3 tr, 3 dc, ch 1, tr, ch 1, 3 dc, 3 tr)”, & then after that last tr you ch 2 & join with sl st to the first tr
Sweat!
…and sweet, too! 😀
Noce
Good gift
