Crochet Heart

Learn how to crochet a heart with this easy crochet heart pattern. These cute little hearts have a soft and squishy texture, and would look so adorable made into a crochet heart garland. This crochet heart pattern is an advanced beginner project, since it calls for some increases and a variety of different crochet stitches: single crochet, half-double crochet, double crochet, and treble crochet, and slip stitches. The heart pattern starts with a magic ring, and is worked in rounds. If you’re brand new to crochet, then be sure to first check out our How to Crochet guide. This pattern uses worsted weight yarn, but you can easily adapt it to use any weight yarn. Just use the corresponding size crochet hook. **Pattern Variations: 3 Sizes** You can make three different size hearts with this same pattern. You can make a mini heart by stopping after Round 1, a medium-size heart by stopping after Round 2, or a large crochet heart by stopping after Round 3. You can also change the size of the heart by using thicker or thinner yarns. **Finished Size** 3.25″ wide and 3″ tall, using worsted weight yarn and size 5.0 mm hook **Gauge** Gauge is not important to the success of this pattern. That said, I like to use a hook that is one or two sizes smaller than the hook called for on the yarn package. This way, the hearts are a bitter stiffer and look solid (without gaps between stitches).
