Crochet Heart Pattern

I have been seeing cute little heart garlands on Pinterest lately and decided that my mantle needed one. First thing I had to do was learn how to crochet a heart. So I went searching to learn how to make crochet hearts.

Crochet Heart Pattern

For my heart garland, I decided that it needed two sizes of hearts. The smallest heart is about 2 inches at the widest part and the larger one is about 3 inches at the widest part.

Once you get the hang of crocheting these hearts, you can make them in a matter of minutes. So making a garland hardly takes any time to make.

A Video on How to Crochet a Heart

I know the first time I was working on these hearts I thought they were a bit difficult, however, they are quite easy. If you are more of a visual person, I created a video for you to follow along with.

How to put your Heart Garland together

Thread your yarn needle. When you thread your small hearts onto your yarn, you will weave around one of the triple crochets on each side of the heart. See photos below:

Threading Your Heart Garland

Leave a good amount of length between your small heart and the larger heart. I left about 3 inches between the hearts, but you can judge what works best for your garland. To thread your larger heart onto the garland weave around one of the triple crochets (from row 1) on each side. (see photos below)

      I wish I lived closer to a few of guys too! I do make videos to help people out who need a visual. It’s the closest thing to a class I can offer. I just hope the videos are good enough. I plan to get a different camera soon so hopefully my videos will get better.

    I agree with Mary! I wish you lived closer! Although, I’m not sure you could help me even then. I may be a lost cause when it comes to sewing, knitting, crocheting… This garland looks beautiful though! I wish I decorated more for Valentine’s Day. I go so all out for Christmas that the other holidays get sort of ignored in our house.

      I am with you Kristen. I don’t decorate a lot, but that may change in the future as I find projects to do. Sewing…..I am no good at. :(

    I love the little hearts, they are absolutely adorable! I really wish I could knit or crochet. I tried to knit once and it didn’t go so well :) I really need to have someone show me how in person.

      I haven’t been crocheting for long. Not even a year yet. I taught myself by watching you tube videos. :)

    The crochet gene passed me by. These are so cute and I could see making them a little larger and using them for coasters. My great grandmother taught me to crochet a looooong time ago and i think i made a huge chain. never quite got the hang of it.

    I went one step further and created a heart a wee bit larger than your “large”! Now I have a collection of small, medium and large hearts that I’m stringing together!

    Ooh, I am going to try this, then offer it to my girl’s crochet class at church. That’s ok, right? I love that they will be able to learn a bunch of stitches and have something to share with our mission, Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts, and they can make them for themselves and for their friends.
