free pattern: little hearts!

It’s almost Valentine’s Day, and I thought it would be fun to share my crochet hearts pattern! :) I’ve used these a lot when I was still making heart headbands for my Etsy shop and I recently ‘found’ this pattern again when a customer asked for some customizations in the form of heart appliqués.

They’re quick and very easy to make; you’ll have a whole bunch of them in no time! :) Let’s get started.

What do you need:

• – yarn in pretty colors
• – a crochet hook that matches the yarn
• – a pair of scissors
• – a darning needle to weave in the ends

This pattern uses US abbreviations.

1. Make a magic ring, and secure with a stitch.

2. Chain 3, 3tr, 3dc, chain 1, 1tr, chain 1, 3dc, 3tr, chain 3 in the ring.

3. Slip stitch in the ring.

4. Cut the yarn and pull through the loop on your hook. Insert your hook from back to front through the center and pull the tail to the back. Pull the ring closed and voilá!

5. Sew in the ends using your needle and make as many hearts as you want! :)

Now go forth and bomb your house with hearts; you can use these to make garlands, or get some felt and glue and stick them on a headband…

Have fun!
