Crochet Heart Pins

February is already here and Valentine's day is just around the corner. I love tiny hearts because they are so sweet and simple. This weekend I made these crochet heart pins to put on scarves, coats, or anywhere to make you smile and feel you are loved. Crochet hearts are easy to make and you can make a bunch of these quickly.


There are many patterns on the web for these, but this is how I made mine.

Start with a Magic Circle
Chain 4
Triple Chain 2 into circle
Double Chain 3 into circle 
Chain 1
Triple Chain 1 into circle
Chain 1
Double Chain 3 into circle
Triple Chain 2 into circle
Chain 4
Now tighten and close the magic circle (should look like a heart)
Slip stitch one into the circle and pull and cut. Tie the two tails together and trim.

On the back of the heart lift up two thread and push a safety pin through, making sure not to split the yarn.

  2. Thanks Leah! (I thought of you when I made these!) I was thinking these might make good valentines for Max's class...since candy is out of the question. They banned all sweets from his school.

  3. I like what you came up with for his school valentines! I made these for the girls in Maisie's Girl Scout Troop, plus a few extras for some other special people. Thanks again for posting this!
