How to Make Crocheted Hearts
With Valentines Day coming up soon, I decided to try something brand new for me. I found this really pretty white yarn with little beads in my yarn stash that I knew would be perfect for a Valentine’s Day project. I searched till I found a youtube video showing me how to make crocheted hearts.. Now that I have made a few of these hearts, I’m really clueless as to what I can do with them. But I do think they are really pretty.
Easy Crocheted Hearts
I’ve never crocheted any patterns or crafts – just afghans, scarves or hats. So this was way out of my comfort zone. But I was quite pleased with how they turned out.
You start by making 12 rows of 12 single crochets till you have a square.

For the loopy part of the hearts, you just keep going into the same hole in the middle 10 times. I watched the youtube video about 30 times to get it right. Basically, you just loop your yarn around and then keep pulling it through till you get the long loops.
Here’s the youtube tutorial I used:

I’m really pleased with how they turned out. My kids suggested I make enough to connect them and make an afghan. I’m not quite sure that would work. Maybe I’ll just drop them in an envelope and mail them to my Grandmother and tell her Happy Valentine’s Day. What do you think I should do with them?
bello y creativo gracias
I think you are way more creative than I am! LOL.. I can not crochet no matter how hard I try! These are super cute =]
You are gonna have to come give me lessons some day.
Those are adorable! I am SO not crafty!!
“easy” for some…impossible for me LOL – These are really cute! like I asked on another of your posts before “Is there anything you cant do??” You are so talented.
Jen Just for you, I’ll do a post called 10 things Sharon CANNOT Do!
I think you should do both….mail some to your grandmother and make an afghan {for me}.

This is one I could never seem to learn. I try and try and always fail. Not giving up though.
I know how to crochet but my hands/wrists would never handle a project this small, ouch! I do love these I have picked up many in antique stores to sit under candles, so cute!
Under candles…. That’s a good idea too!
How cute! I’m trying to teach myself how to crochet, but its not as easy as I thought LOL
Crochet is easier for me than knitting. I’m trying to learn to knit and that is not going so well!
Awe! I’d love them as homemade crochet heart coasters:) cute!
Coasters! Cute idea! I just made 2 more today. They take about 10 minutes so they’re perfect to do while the kids are talking about their day
These are so cute they almost make me want to crochet! Almost.
