Crochet Heart Pattern

Cute Crochet Heart Pattern

Picture of crocheted hearts

There are lots of different  patterns available for crochet hearts so here is one more to add to the mix 🥰. This is my pattern I used to make my Valentine's Day garland. I have also used the hearts in the past to make little cards by sticking the heart onto some coloured card, and also used them as little gift tags by threading a little bit of string through the top of the heart and attaching them to presents or gift bags.  What would you use your crocheted hearts for?

What you'll need:

Yarn: I have used James C Brett Party Time for my garland but you can use any yarn you like. Don't forget the weight of your yarn will affect the size of your heart. 

Size: The chunky yarn I have used makes a heart that is approx 6.5cm wide and 6cm in height.

Hook: I used 6mm (US = J -10). If you are using a different yarn to me use the hook it recommends for that yarn on the label.

Other craft tools: craft scissors and darning needle

Note: Pattern written in UK terms.

Abbreviations: UK terms
ch = chain
st = stitch
sl st = slip stitch
rnd = round
dc = double crochet (US equivalent = single crochet) 
htr = half treble crochet (US equivalent = half double crochet)
tr = treble crochet (US equivalent = double crochet)

Crochet Heart Pattern:

Rnd 1: Start with a magic circle, ch2 (counts as 1st htr), 11 htr into circle, sl st into top of ch2 to join. (12 sts)

Rnd 2: continuing to work in the round, skip next 2 sts, 7 tr in next st, sl st in next st, skip next 2 sts, 7 tr in next st, 1 dc in next 3 sts, (1 htr, 1 tr, 1 htr) in next st, 1 dc in next 2 sts.

(Tip: sometimes your next stitch after the 7 trebles might get hidden because you have all 7 squeezed in one stitch so they push over the next stitch, make sure to push them out the way to find the next stitch you need to work into)

Rnd 3: sl st into next 7 sts, sl st into stitch from rnd 1 that lies directly below the next st,

Rnd 3 continued: now working back into remaining stitches from rnd 2, sl st into the next 12 sts, then ch 1, 

sl st into last 2 sts, fasten off yarn and sew in ends.

You should now have a completed heart. For my Valentine's Day garland I made 14 hearts and then chained then together using some DK sparkly white yarn and joined the hearts in-between chains with a double crochet into the top of each heart hump.  I hope you enjoy this pattern, please do check out my Facebook page and Etsy store for other patterns and latest news.  You can also find me on Instagram @melly.elly.crochet

Happy making,

Crochet Moss Stitch Granny Square

Moss Stitch Granny Square Pattern A lovely quick square that can be worked in many different yarn types. I've used Yarn Smiths Create Chunky here which Wool Warehouse kindly gifted me. I'm going to make a cosy, chunky, lap blanket with my squares. Perfect for snuggling up on the sofa with to add that extra layer of warmth which is much needed at this time. The full blanket pattern with step by step photos and full yarn list should be available in my Etsy shop by the end of the year but in the meantime because lots of you have asked about this square I thought I'd get the basic square pattern up on my blog as a little Christmas gift to you all. What would you make with these squares?

'A Little Bit of Happiness' Crochet Project

' A Little Bit of Happiness' Crochet Project - To Chase Away the Winter Blues Every year I really struggle during January and February with season affective disorder and tend to lose my crojo, which usually brings me so much comfort and joy. Starting big new projects feels impossible and continuing with previous abandoned wips just does not appeal.  I have tried many different tricks over the years to get through these dark, dreary winter months and have tried to find crochet projects that work for me during this time when I feel unmotivated and generally a bit down about everything.  I have found that small projects with quick outcomes work well at bringing some joy, and have made things such as wristwarmers, a winter hat, or even some small mandalas in past years at this time. However choosing yarn, patterns, and even making simple colour decisions can feel rather overwhelming. So this year I am trying something a little different. I have a square pattern that I d

Mindful Crochet - Giant Granny Square Blanket

Mindful Crochet - Giant Modern Granny Square Blanket Pattern for Giant Modern Granny Square Blanket My very first crochet project was a giant granny square blanket. I didn't intend to make a blanket, I started out by trying a granny square and thought, this is fun, and just kept on going. For my first one, I just used 3 colours (pink, purple and white) and just kept alternating between the 3. If you want to see how my first attempt turned out you can go to my Instagram page and scroll right back to some of my very first posts ( click here to take a peek) . Crochet, Mindfulness, and Well Being I first took up crochet at a very stressful time of life.  I had just had my second child and been made redundant whilst on maternity leave. I had also had a significant death in the family, and I had been in hospital with an infected gallbladder.  Let's just say, life had dealt me several hefty blows all in a very short space of time. It was actually a friend of mine that suggested we cou
