Hey all!
After the popularity of my Cute Little Heart Free Crochet Pattern I’ve received a lot of requests for the pattern in different sizes. I decided to do the heart crochet pattern in three different sizes!
These hearts measure 3, 4, and 5 1/2 inches respectively at their widest width. They are so cute and easy to make- you can make a ton of them for Valentine’s Day!
If you would like visuals on some of the stitches and how the pattern basically goes together, check out the original Cute Little Heart Free Crochet Pattern post.

Hi Michelle 🙂 Oooh thank you SO much, my dear!!!! I will definitely let you know how my big heart came out. I’m sure it will be wonderful.
You’re most certainly welcome! 🙂 Thanks again for your patience!
I would like video, directions are great but I’m a Lil lost with the very end an I think I’m doing something wrong!!
Hi Valerie! I don’t do crochet videos because I crochet left-handed, and since most everyone is right-handed it think it would cause more confusion than anything. Can you tell me where you’re getting stuck and I’ll try to help?
Love this pattern. I’m new to crocheting and this was easy to follow. I’m actially making sachets to send to my daughter at college from your pattern. Thank you!

Thank you Michelle! 🙂 I’m happy to hear you enjoyed the pattern!
These are so cute, perfect for Valentine’s Day. I really need to learn how to crochet (and knit). Thanks so much for sharing at Inspire Me Wednesday. Featuring you in next week’s issue.
Oh thank you so much Mel!!! 🙂 I’m very flattered you chose this as one of your features for next week! And yes, you do really need to learn how to knit and crochet! 🙂 Once you do learn you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it- not only can you make cool stuff, it is so relaxing and stress relieving!
Oh my goodness what a great tutorial. I have added it to my lets get crafty board, Thank you for sharing at the Thursday Favorite Things blog hop. xo P.S. did you see my new giveaways?
Thank you Katherine! 🙂 And I’m on my way over to check out your giveaways!
Hi Michelle,
Can your easy heart be made in a cotton,? Should i double it ? Hook is a 3.50 but this is a small hook and I’m struggling trying to keep a grip on the yarn probably as it’s a cotton ,I’m wanting to do it for a keyring ,it’s a lovely pattern so thankyou ,Jan wynder
Hi Jan, you can use any yarn you want for the pattern. If you’re having problems keeping the yarn on the hook, try using a thinner weight yarn like sock weight. I hope that helps! 🙂
Thank you for allowing me to use this pattern xx
You bet Julia! 🙂
These are soo cute, Michelle! Love the colours! Would love to invite you to link up with us if you ever get a chance please 🙂
Thank you Kendra! I’ve got some other projects in the works so I’ll be linking up soon 🙂

You’re welcome Wilma! I’m happy to hear you enjoyed the pattern so much! 🙂

Thank you Josh! 🙂 Yes, it is U.S.
Michelle,
Oh gonna try this now! Think I will add tulle to the yarn and make dish scrubbies. Thank you so much for sharing your pattern!!
Will try to let ya know how it comes out.?
You’re welcome Dorene! I’m glad you like the pattern! 🙂
Hi Michelle. Happy Thank you for this crochet heart. I hope you’ll have a video too.
You’re very welcome Maria! Unfortunately I can’t do crochet videos becasue I crochet left handed, and since most everyone is right handed it tends to confuse people more than it helps.
Hi Michelle
Do you have instructions on how to connect the hearts into a blanket?
Thanks
Hi Shirley! I’m sorry, but I’ve never tried it so I don’t have instructions for it 🙁
I loved the tips thank you very much for them and I’m starting to create my own croches. =)
You’re very welcome Emmily! 🙂
Hands down, the pattern looks fabulous Michelle. With the instructions being clear and concise it will have a beginner crocheter feeling like a professional in no time!! I really wanna try it now but crocheting a couple of pillows, will definitely going to make one for someone special this weekend.I have also subscribed to your blog for more posts like this.Thanks again for this post

You’re very welcome Hannah, and thank you for the feedback! 🙂 It’s always nice to know that my patterns are clear and intuitive. If you have any questions when you start making them, please let me know and I’ll be happy to help! 🙂
Hello Michelle,
What an incredible site. Your crochet is amazing and your photography is wonderful.
The only problem is that I do NOT crochet or knit. I’ve tried so many times to no avail.
Hi Marsha! I tried several times too before I got the hang of it. The trick is to just keep working at it until you get it. When I finally stuck with it, I would knit/crochet stuff that was not great looking, but as I kept at it I got better and better. There may be some inexpensive or free classes offered in your area at your local library or craft stores. Also check out YouTube for some beginner tutotials. I hope that helps! 🙂
Thanks for sharing such an easy to read and follow this pattern tutorial. I’m new to crochet so I need as simple as I can get right now!!
You’re welcome Wanda! 🙂 I’m happy you found the pattern easy to follow!
Thank you for a darling pattern! Really like the pics of your painted objects too.
hi luv this want to make lots for charity preemie blnkets thanx for shareing
I made smaller than the small one. I switched trc for dc, dc for hdc and so on. I also looks great. I started with a magic ring. I looks perfect. Thanks for posting.
Hi Michelle,
This is great! I agree, this is the best and easiest heart pattern out there. Well done! And thank you for putting the patterns for 3 sizes.
I used these patterns to make various different hearts (mixed and matched using different yarns x different sizes). It’s a great way to test out yarn, since you know you’re working off the same pattern, but of course the finished product will vary based on the yarn.
I recently started a blog and this project was actually the first article I wrote. I hope you don’t mind! (I did link back to your page so my readers would be able to see the actual pattern followed on your article). My friend and I are planning on attaching a small note to each heart and hang them around down. Our little way of spreading love :). Also, the very first one I created was for my daughter so she could attach this to her backpack. It’s the yarn version of a “kissing hand” 😉

Hi Jennifer! I don’t mind at all! 🙂 In fact I appreciate you sharing my heart pattern and I’m flattered you chose it for you first post! Good luck with you blog – you’re off to a great start! 🙂
Thankyou for sharing the heart pattern.I found it really easy to follow with super results.x
Thanks Heather! I’m so happy you enjoyed the pattern! 🙂
An urgent request yesterday for crochet hearts to send out with lock down food parcels in Feb. Your lovely pattern was just what I needed to create quickly but still look attractive. Thanks! 😁
Hiya! Thanks for the great pattern. I was wondering if this could be modified to make even bigger hearts? Do you have any suggestions for how I could do that? Thanks!
Hi Ellie! Try adding more increases with each row that are evenly spaced out and play around with it until you get it how you want. If the heart starts pulling inward, rip the row and add more increases; if the heart starts getting wavy, rip the row and decrease the number of increases. I hope that helps!
is there a way to keep going and make the heart into a blanket
Hi April! I am sure there is a way, but I’ve never tried to do it so I’m not able to tell you how. I’m sure if you Google something like “heart shaped blanket crochet pattern” you’ll find a pattern for it. Good luck!
Michelle – I’m launching a yarn-bombing project here in Pittsburgh, and our first project will be making these hearts at a community event. I would love to credit you and your pattern on our Facebook page if that is okay with you — Love Binds Pittsburgh.
Hi Amy! Yes and I love that you want to use my pattern for this! If you post some of the hearts made on Facebook and Instagram please feel free to tag me there too. Thank you!
Thanks so much….made the small heart pattern…so easy to follow and understand.
You’re welcome Angela! I’m happy you enjoyed the pattern!
Michelle, I, too, wand to continue to a bigger size for a dishcloth. Surely a formula could be worked out based on these three increased sized. But my brain won’t do it. I bet you could, though. I’d be ever so grateful!
I love working with the pattern and I think it should be named the easiest heart pattern ever. I have made all 3 pattens and have made 2 at a time and stuffed them a little with the same color yarn I made them with. They are so cute. BTW I tried several other patterns and they were just confusing, I was so happy when I found this pattern. Very easy to follow. I don’t usually leave comments but I had to for this pattern.
