How to Crochet a Heart

This pink and red heart free crochet pattern can be added to any project as an applique, given with a card for Mother’s Day or even strung together to be hung up as a Valentine’s Day garland.

Read on down to find out how to make your very own crochet heart today!

To begin the heart pattern gather up a crochet hook (that corresponds to the yarn you are using) and some yarn scraps. Which I always seem to have an abundance of! 🙂 If you happen to have any too saved from past projects then you are ready to start crocheting a heart.

It’s a win. Cute project & a scrap buster!

The Yarn

Since I have so much worsted weight yarn ends left over from blog projects I decided to use some scraps of Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in Pink & Magenta for my sample.

UPDATE: The magenta color seems to be no longer available so I would suggest trying the colorway “rose shocking” as a good substitute.

Try Different Kinds of Yarn Too!

Don’t hesitate to try different colors, brands, thickness’s of yarn scraps because this heart can easily be made using endless color and yarn combinations.
