The Easiest Heart Crochet Pattern Ever! - The Painted Hinge

This is the easiest heart crochet pattern ever! 🙂

Okay, I know I’m making a huge claim here. And there’s like 50,000 heart crochet patterns out there, and of course I can’t look at every one, so who’s to say this one is really the easiest?

I’ll tell you why. 🙂

1. This heart crochet pattern is really frigging easy. The first round is all double crochet and a slip stitch. It gets its heart shape all in the second round. 2. There’s only two rounds. 3. There are instructions with pictures below the pattern. Not only is it easy, you get to see how easy it is.

And of course these are great to make for Valentine’s Day! 🙂

See how easy? No? Then take a looksee below. The pictures show the pattern being worked from left to right because I am left handed. This pattern is symmetrical, so it can be worked either left to right or right to left and achieve the same results.

Chain 5; join with slip stitch to form a loop. Chain 3 up from loop.

Double crochet 10 stitches.

Slip stitch finishes round 1.

Chain up from slip stitch to start round 2.

Work the first 3 triple crochet in the same stitch as the slip stitch.

Halfway point on the second round; just finished the single crochet 1, double crochet 1, single crochet 1 in the same stitch (forms the point at the bottom of the heart).

Finishing the second round; slip stitch in the first stitch (the stitch that you chained up from to begin the second round.

All finished! See, told you they were easy! 🙂

So, what can you do with these once you make a bunch of them? They can be used for garlands and wreaths, or stitched together for scarves or an afghan. Or, you can just toss them about a table, shelf or counter. They’re so darned cute they stand on their own.

Oh, and fair warning: like granny squares, these can be really addicting. You’ll wake up to dozens of them lying about the house without any memory of making them. Which really isn’t a bad thing, unless you have a crochet heart phobia.
