How to Crochet a Heart for Beginners | Easy Crochet Heart Tutorial

Learn how to crochet a heart in this easy to follow tutorial made for beginners. If you are new to crochet, and want to create a few fun hearts for Valentine's Day, this is the perfect tutorial for you!

I was inspired by the conversation hearts in the Sweet Treats Blanket Crochet Along Blog Hop. Also, a few years ago I created a pattern called Heart on a Sleeve Crochet Scarf (will insert link here today - working on the post now).

Well, I created that pattern when I first started crocheting and realized after trying to make another heart from my old pattern that it was sorely in need of revision.

I couldn't even follow my own crochet pattern! LOL! So here, my friends, is an updated version and a companion video to the Heart on a Sleeve crochet scarf pattern. This is a also a perfect pattern to create conversation hearts. I am going to create words on these hearts and will upload here when I do. Look for that video this week.

In the meantime - check out the Heart on a Sleeve Crochet Scarf pattern here:

This is a very nice heart. I did take it apart 2 times at first, tried two other hearts elsewhere, got frustrated with both, so came back to your heart and 3rd time is a charm!
I did want it one row larger and found the instructions that you replied to someone of doing hdc all the way around, doing 3 in the top of each circle and a (1 hdc, ch 2, 1 hdc) in the bottom corner of the heart.
I used Peaches & Creme cotton yarn, 4 medium., and a 5 mm hook.
I also learned the magic circle from you which makes things so much easier.
Thank you!

Best looking heart in my opinion. Thank you!

These hearts are darling! Thanks for your tutorial! 💜

I’m an extreme beginner, only crocheting for a week. Sometimes when you said 3 hdc in the next 3 stitches, then adjusted and said an hdc in the next 3 stitches, it got a tad confusing.
First attempt wasn’t bad. Will do it again tomorrow.

Perfect timing! I recently finished a scarf with heart appliques, but the heart pattern just wasn't working for me. I'll be trying yours next!

Thank you for this brilliant tutorial. These are the prettiest crochet hearts I've ever seen - perfect for bunting or appliqué too! 😍 I'm making one to use as a heart-shaped tummy for a crocheted toy monkey! 🐵❤

I made this beautiful heart. It’s gorgeous! I added a picot stitch at the bottom of the heart for a little bit more flair. Thank you 🥰

Hello, HELP I would like to make the heart big enough to do a blanket, how do I increase for each row, is there a formula you would recommend? I just want a heart shaped blanket! I used a Bernal baby blanket yearn with a 10mm and it looks so cute, I want it to be a blanket😭

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me where you got your shirt! I’ve been searching for one for years now and can’t find it. I had one in the early eighties, and it was my favorite shirt. If you wouldn’t mind, can you please tell me where to find one?💗🌈💗

I know you probably won't answer, but do you know if we can use the normal pattern to make these into Granny squares or do you have to do a completely different pattern? Also these are so cute❤
