Free Crochet Heart Pattern

January 27, 2013 By: Lorene

Free Crochet Heart 

This free crochet heart pattern is great for adding to any finished product, baby blanket, hat, scarf and makes a great Valentine’s Day pin.  Instructions for making into a pin are at the bottom of the pattern. Also makes a great Valentine’s Day decoration when used as bunting.

I am proud to say that this heart (according to my testers) is different than the other heart patterns out there and is a unique design that gives great results.

Notes
You can use any worsted weight yarn for this project but keep in mind that different companies, and even different colors within the same company, can have different thickness, and, as such, each heart will be slightly different in size.

Pattern

  1. Start with a 12” long tail (long tail not needed if you are using heart for bunting or for a pin)
  2. Mc/r with 8sc, join round with sl st
  3. Increase (2sc) in every stitch for 16sc, join round with sl st
  4. Crochet around as follows (each space is separated by a comma) 1sc, 1sc, 2hdc, 2dc, 2hdc, 1 sl st, 1sl st, 1sl st, 2hdc, 2dc, 2hdc, 1sc, 1sc, 1hdc, 1dc, 1hdc.  Join round with sl st
  5. Crochet around as follows (each space is separated by a comma) 1sc, 1sc, 1sc, 1sc, 1sc & 1hdc, 2hdc, 2dc, 2hdc, 1sl st, skip 1, 1sl st, 2hdc, 2dc, 2hdc, 1hdc &1sc, 1sc, 1sc, 1sc, 1sc, 1hdc, 2dc, 1hdc.  Join round with sl st.
  6. Fasten off and weave in end.  Secure center tail and leave long for fastening to finished piece (or weave in if using heart for bunting) I recommend using my invisible finish method for a professional look.

*For added stability and finished look one row of sl st can be placed around heart, either in same color or in a different color.

I prefer the way it looks when the sl st is placed in the back loops only.  However, if you use this method you should sl st in both loops at the center (indent) part of the heart and do a sc instead at the tip (point) of the heart.

  Hearts on Fire Variation

Follow the above pattern but change colors on every round.  Tie end of new color to end of old color on each round to secure.

To Make Heart into a Pin

Cut two circles of the same size out of felt (I used the thread spool to trace around)
