Notes
- Size: Each crochet heart is roughly 4.5 inches wide. If you want to use smaller hearts you can check out my crochet heart scarf pattern and use the smaller heart pattern for some size variance.
- Yarn: I chose to do worsted weight (size 4 yarn). You can make this pattern in any weight of yarn - smaller weighted yarn will yield a smaller crochet heart and a bigger weight will create a larger heart. Just change the hook size according to your yarn type.
- In the round: The valentines day crochet heart garland is made in the round. If you are having trouble crocheting in the round, check out my crochet heart coaster pattern. There I make a flat crochet heart shape in rows. Same with my crochet heart keychain pattern if you were wanting a smaller heart pattern.
Instructions
- The heart garland pattern is made in the round.
- Round 1: Using any pink or red yarn make a mr, then ch x2 and dc x12 into the magic ring. Pull tight and sl st to the BEGINNING CHAINS (13).
- Round 2: Ch x2 and make a dc into the sl st from the previous round. Then inc in every stitch (26).
- Round 3: Sc + hdc into the next stitch. Then, dc, tr inc x3, dc inc, hdc, sc x5. Hdc + dc + hdc at the tip of the heart. Then sc x5, hdc, dc inc, tr inc x3, dc, hdc + sc. Sl st to the sl st from the previous round (38).
- Round 4: Sc, hdc, dc inc, tr inc x4, dc inc, hdc, sc x9. Make 3 hdc stitches at the tip of the heart (in the dc from the last round). Then sc x9, hdc, dc inc, tr inc x4, dc inc, hdc, sc. Make a sl st into the sl st from the previous round and fasten off (52).
Making the garland:
- With white yarn ch x10, then make a sc into the top of the heart, right into the second stitch of the first triple crochet increase in the last round. Then ch x10-12 (based on tension) and connect with a sc to the exact spot on the other side of the heart. The heart should be able to lay flat and not fold at the center. If it is folding it means you need to add more chains between the sc connection points. Ch x20 and connect the next heart. Repeat as necessary.
- And now the crochet heart garland pattern is done!
