I had to create a crochet heart pattern! I’m all about quick and easy with my patterns and this one is just that! It’s one continuous spiral of crocheting, you can make up a bunch of them really quickly and you can give them out to anyone you want to show a little extra love to! Which leads me to…
Stop by between Thursday, January 28, 2010 and the end of the day on February 2, 2010, for a little heart-filled giveaway!!!
Edited to Add: You can now view a step-by-step guide to making my crochet hearts here: http://planetmfiles.com/2010/02/09/crochet-heart-step-by-step/
Use it along with this pattern if you would like more detailed instruction.
And now, the pattern!
Crochet Heart Pattern
Created by Gayle at www.planetmfiles.com
Size: Hearts made with worsted weight yarn approximately 2 1/2 inches wide, 2 inches tall. Hearts made with crochet thread approximately 1 inch wide, 1 inch tall.
Materials:
- I used Red Heart Super Saver assorted colors and Aunt Lydia’s Classic Crochet Thread in Size 10 assorted colors
- Size G Hook for Red Heart yarn and Size 5, 1.7mm hook for crochet thread
Gauge: Not important
Abbreviations: sc = single crochet, ch = chain, st = stitch, sl st = slip stitch, dc = double crochet, hdc = half double crochet
Notes: This pattern is worked in one continuous round. A round is worked in a continuous spiral, do not join, do not turn. The pattern might not seem to make sense as you are working, but keep going! It will be a heart when you’re finished!
- Start with a ch 2
- Do 6 sc in the 2nd ch from hook (Remember, don’t join or turn, just keep going in the same spiral throughout the entire list of instructions!)
- Do 2 sc in each of the next 5 sc, ch 1
- Do 2 dc in the next sc
- Do 2 sc in the next sc
- Do 1 sc in the next sc
- Do 1 hdc, 4 dc in the next sc
- Do 1 sc in the next sc
- Do sl st in the next sc
- Do 1 sc in the next sc
- Do 3 dc, 1 hdc in the next sc
- Do 1 sc in the next sc
- Do sl st in the next sc
- Cut yarn or thread and finish off
- Weave in yarn or thread ends

It’s always nice to find another Gayle who enjoys crocheting as much as I do!
I decided to check Crochet Pattern Central this morning in hopes of finding an easy mini-heart to make heart pins with for my sons’ female school classmates; I’m excited to try out your pattern as it looks fun & way easy.
=)

Hi Gayle, wanted to make some heart potholder for Vday…do you have a spiral crochet pattern for that…or how do I make the heart pattern you sent out, but a little bigger…how do I continue? I know I need to use 100% cotton yarn. I like the spiral better then the lines across.
THANKS

Hi, I tried to make a heart and could not for the life of me get it to turn out right! How did you get the spiral without slip stitches? Did you mean 4 dc on #11 instead of 3? I crochet carnations that are a lot more complicated than this. Perhaps this is too simple for me!! LOL

Thank you soo much. I was in need of an easy and quick heart pattern. My 10 month old’s blanket developed a whole and she wouldn’t leave it alone causing it to tear a little. I knew I had to do something fast as this was her comfort blanket as well (of course!!). I happened upon this site and was so thankful. It took less than minutes to crochet up a quick heart from some floss and then sew it right over the hole of which my toddler didnt even notice ‘mommy was messin with my blanket’. Whew! Life Saver!!
Thanks so much for creating this pattern and posting it. It will come in handy much in the future for patching up some jeans for my 7 year old as well!!

Hi Tanya!
I need to try it. I was going to try to figure it out last night, but I was too tired to work on it. I’m not sure if I’ll get a chance to work on it tonight, but I’ll try!

Thanks so much for posting this! This is the best and clearest pattern for a heart I’ve come across so far. I needed to crochet two little hearts for a couple of pillows I made, just to finish them off. This is a pattern I’ve bookmarked for future use.
