Valentine’s makes a lovely excuse to crochet something for the special people in your life or for yourself! Crocheted items make such meaningful gifts so I am sure anyone would appreciate them, especially if they are made from the patterns I have compiled here.
I’ve included a good variety of projects, from homewares to plushies or even a rose ball! Most of these are only small projects so they be made last minute if you don’t have much time. I hope you enjoy making these as much as the receiver is bound to!

6. Valentine Kisses Treat Bag
These are some more very cute bags! They work up very quickly and are of an easy level.
The panels are crocheted separately and sewed together, then the lips are added after. You could probably use the lips as appliques for some of you other projects too.
7. Valentine’s Birds
A little love bird makes such a cute gift! They are very small so work up quickly and there are only a few steps for assembly. The heart on the centre of its body also makes a nice touch.

Why settle for just real treats when you can have crocheted ones as well! This lovely pattern includes the set of three, so you can make only one thing of your liking or all.
They are a quick project and look adorable when they are done! Play around with colours so it looks like you have treats of different flavours.
9. Valentine’s Day Game w/Bag
I think this pattern is so cool, who would have thought of crocheting a whole game! The pattern not only includes instructions for the pieces and game mat, but an adorable storage bag as well. I hope you have lots of fun with this one!

I would almost rather this cute crochet cupcake over a real one, it looks so good! The colours can be played with to again create the look of different flavours, and the hearts on top are very fitting for valentine’s day.
13. Valentine’s Mug Rug
These mug rugs are adorable and allow you to have fun with colour changing yarns and creating tassles!
This pattern involves flat tapestry crochet which is done in rows and not rounds. It is very suitable for advanced beginners.
14. Valentine Bear
A handmade crochet bear is better than any one you will find at the shop! I love the little heart patch on the belly, the white and red are the perfect contrasting colours for the holiday.
The parts are crocheted separately in the round and just need to be sewed together the same as photos provided!
15. Valentine’s Day Tissue Box and Mailbox
We love a practical and multi-purpose crochet project! This one can be either a tissue or mailbox.
It would be cute to have at a family, friend or work gathering where everyone can write little appreciative notes to each other, because valentine’s day doesn’t just have to be about romantic love!
16. Valentine’s Day Sloth Cupcake
This sloth is such a cute little guy with the design as if its in a cupcake! It is only small so may be slightly fiddly while crocheting and sewing together, but is sure to be worth it.
The pattern is easily accessible on the designers instagram.
17. Valentine’s Jar Cosy
Valentine’s day jar cosies are the best way to add some fun to your homewares! The pattern involves tapestry crochet, so the designer advises checking out their post if you are not familiar with the technique.
18. Love Notes Valentine
What’s better than gifting a love letter, that a crochet set for writing them! This pattern could also be used for holding your essentials for general note taking.
It is an incredibly quick project so get onto making yours!
19. Valentine’s Day Heart
Finally, we have some basic hearts that can be used as embellishments for other projects you have or just stand alone! Like an idea might be attaching them all to a chain to make a garland garland.
Details like the button look adorable but are not necessary, just have fun with it!
