This is the easiest crochet heart pattern I have designed. This post includes 3 crochet heart patterns, each with it’s own video tutorial. Even a beginner crocheter can make these easy crochet hearts.
The pattern is very simple. Crochet Heart Pattern 1, is one round of stitches. Crochet Heart Pattern 2, is two rounds of stitches and Crochet Heart Pattern 3 is three rounds of stitches.
These simple, pretty crocheted hearts are perfect for so many occasions, for weddings and also for Valentine’s Day.
Each round takes less than 3 minutes to crochet. That means for crochet heart pattern 1 you need just 3 minutes of time.
A full video tutorial is available in YouTube here.
These Crochet Hearts for Valentine’s Day can be used to embellish your favorite projects, to decorate cards and crafts, or if you switch to crochet thread and the hook recommended for the thread, you can make them into lovely crochet heart earrings.
