Looking for that perfect crochet heart pattern? Here are 25 of the most amazing designs with crochet hearts on the net.
At the rate this year has been flying by, I wouldn’t be surprised if I woke up tomorrow and it was already Valentine’s Day. Has anyone else been feeling that way lately? I’ve been getting a jumpstart on my Valentine’s projects this year for this very reason! To me, Valentine’s Day isn’t about spending a bunch of money or making a big spectacle.
Letting someone know that you care can be as simple as giving them a crochet heart. Or something with a heart on it. Or maybe a few different heart-themed things? You get the idea! I like to make gifts for friends, neighbors and coworkers too – and not just for my significant other. Small acts of kindness can have BIG impacts on people’s lives. Your ability to crochet is a gift that can make people smile and lift them up when they’re having a hard time.
What do you like to make for Valentine’s Day? I like to glue crochet appliques onto cardstock to make handmade greeting cards. I also like to make crochet buntings for Valentine’s Day decorations with lots of colorful hearts. Crochet heart hats and crochet heart gloves are also a favorite of mine – plus they’re super practical for those late winter flurries. I’ve also gathered together crochet heart throw pillows, crochet heart pencil cases and crochet heart cacti – all perfect for crochet Valentine’s Day gifts!
