Table of Contents
1. Love Hearts
Here’s a super easy heart pattern that I’ve used myself! These hearts work up quickly, and you can use them for almost anything: as an applique, on a garland, as earrings to wear on a Valentine’s Day date, and more! The pattern covers three sizes of hearts plus a fourth puffy version. Best of all, they’re made with simple stitches, so this is a great beginner pattern.
2. Higher Love Motif Hearts
Here’s another multipurpose heart, with a vintage lacy look. These hearts are made with size 10 thread and a 1.75mm hook, so make sure you’re comfortable with using small supplies before you begin. The pattern calls for easy stitches plus the front-post and back-post double crochet, which are explained. There are also plenty of helpful photos and a stitch chart to guide you as you crochet.
3. Swirly Hearts
Looking for a groovy Valentine’s Day gift? This swirly heart is the perfect choice. Just grab some yarn in your two favorite colors—I think pinks, reds, and whites would all look great together—and you’ll be ready to craft! The pattern includes written instructions, a stitch chart, and a photo tutorial, and you’ll only need to know easy stitches plus the extended double crochet, which is described.
4. Rejoice Heart
These hearts are absolutely gorgeous with their lacy, doily-like design. The pattern only uses simple stitches, but you’ll need to know how to follow the stitch chart, since there aren’t any written instructions. Once you know how to read the stitch chart, these hearts will work up quickly and easily. I think they’d look especially wonderful as part of a Valentine’s Day garland!
5. Jumbo Heart Pillow
Beyond basic hearts, you can also make other Valentine’s Day items, like pillows! This jumbo heart pillow is made with Bernat Baby Blanket yarn and fiber fill stuffing, so it’s very soft and cuddly. It’s a good beginner project since it only uses easy stitches. Plus, you can use safety eyes and worsted-weight yarn to add a cute little face!
6. Crochet Heart Pillow
Here’s a similar cozy heart pillow that’s also made with Bernat Blanket yarn. The pattern includes two sizes of pillows, so you can make one or both for your Valentine! The pattern calls for easy stitches, so grab some jumbo chenille yarn and polyester stuffing, and you’ll be able to crochet these pillows in no time.
7. Candy Heart Pillow
Here’s one of the most classic Valentine’s Day candies, in pillow form! For this project, you’ll need worsted-weight yarn, some stuffing, and knowledge of basic stitches. And since the pillows can be made with no sewing, this is a great option for new crocheters. At the end, you can embroider any of your favorite sayings!
8. Candy Conversation Hearts Keychains
Here’s another crochet candy heart pattern, and if you use worsted-weight yarn, these pillows are the perfect size for a keychain! You can leave them plain, add fun sayings, or even add a cute smiling face! The pattern calls for simple stitches plus the mattress stitch, and there’s a video tutorial linked for that stitch. There’s also a video tutorial for the whole project, so you’ll be able to make these hearts very easily even if you’re a beginner crocheter!
9. Heart Crochet Cushion Cover
This granny square heart cushion cover is such a lovely retro Valentine’s Day design! Just choose your favorite white, pink, and red yarns, and you’ll be ready to get started. You’ll also need a pillow insert, and these are easy to find on Amazon or at your local craft store. The pattern includes detailed instructions and helpful progress photos, and uses basic stitches plus the standing double crochet for color changes. If you’ve never done a standing double crochet before, don’t worry—the pattern describes it, so this project is a great chance to learn a new skill.
10. Heart Shaped Cloth
Heart-shaped dishcloths and coasters are a great way to decorate your home for Valentine’s Day! This basic cloth has a granny square design and can be used as a dish cloth, wash cloth, or a coaster. You can use any yarn you like—cotton yarn is a good choice if you’re going to use the heart as a dish cloth or coaster, and acrylic would be fine if you plan only to use it as décor. The pattern calls for simple stitches and includes a stitch chart along with detailed written instructions, so even beginner crocheters will be able to make this cloth.
11. Crochet Woven Heart
This heart cloth is a bit more complex in its design, but it’s still quite easy to make! The woven design is absolutely gorgeous, and I especially love the version made in two shades of pink. You can use acrylic yarn if your heart will be decorative, but you should choose cotton if you’re going to use it as a dish cloth or hot pad. The pattern comes in both PDF and video format, and you’ll only need to know easy stitches.
12. Hearts Of Hope Coaster
These heart coasters have a lovely scalloped border. The pattern comes in three languages (English, Ukrainian, and Korean) and has great, detailed instructions, plus a stitch chart and information on how to block your coasters. All you’ll need for these coasters is worsted yarn and knowledge of basic stitches, so what are you waiting for?
13. Crochet Valentine Heart Coasters
I love the simplicity of these square coasters with their heart motif. You can use any yarn and matching hook size, though if you want your coasters to be the same size as the designer’s, you should pick up sport-weight yarn. As long as you’re comfortable with color changes, this project will be a breeze! The pattern uses easy stitches, includes a stitch chart, and has plenty of instructional photos.
14. Easy Amigurumi Crochet Stuffed Heart
Amigurumi creations make amazing Valentine’s Day gifts, and what better place to start than this easy amigurumi heart? You can use is as a standalone present, or attach it to another piece of amigurumi, like a cuddly teddy bear. And you can choose whatever yarn weight will make it the perfect size for your gift—from small crochet thread to worsted yarn to bulky chenille yarn. There are both written instructions and a video tutorial, and you’ll only need to know simple stitches, so this is a good beginner pattern.
15. Nesting Hearts for Valentine’s Day
These cute nesting hearts make a lovely gift! For this project, you’ll need worsted-weight yarn, safety eyes, and stuffing, plus knowledge of basic stitches and the triple single crochet decrease, which is described. There are plenty of helpful progress photos, and best of all, you can choose your favorite Valentine’s Day colors for the hearts!
16. Valentine Heart Crochet Owl
Isn’t this owl just adorable?! I’m in love with his heart motif, and he’d make the perfect gift for your Valentine. He’s made with chenille blanket yarn, so he’s super cuddly, and you’ll only need to know easy stitches plus the waistcoat (knit-look) stitch.
