You Are Going to LOVE These Crochet Hearts!

Valentine’s day is coming and what better way to show some love than by giving a homemade gift. These crochet hearts are perfect for showing the ones you love, a little homemade love! You can make them as big or as small as you desire. From a small keychain heart, to the size of a coaster, these hearts can be sized to your liking. 

Terms:

• TR = Treble Crochet
• DC = Double Crochet
• Ch = Chain = the stitch used to increase the height for new rows or rounds
• MC = Magic Circle = how to crochet a round
• SS = Slip Stitch

Supplies:

• Worsted weight yarn in your color choice (I used a 4, but larger hearts can use thicker yarn)
• 3.0 mm hook (this can be adjusted depending on how big you want your heart and the yarn you choose)
• Scissors

Directions:

1. Magic circle (MC) (this will stay open until the end), Ch 4
2. 3 TR into the mc, then 3 DC
3. Ch 1, 1 TR, Ch 1
4. 3 DC, 3 TR
5. Ch 4, SS into the circle; pull the yarn tail tight to close the circle
6. You can tuck the tails in OR use the tails as a loop for a keychain type of heart.

Remember, this pattern can be expanded to make a bigger heart as well. So enjoy it, make a bunch of hearts, and spread your homemade love!
