I wanted to make some really small hearts for Valentine’s Day crafts, but couldn’t find any patterns online that I liked. After a few tries, I came up with these little cuties.
Tiny Crochet Heart Pattern
worsted weight yarn
size F/5 (3.75mm) crochet hook
tapestry needle for weaving ends
hdc: half double crochet
sc: single crochet
sl st: slip stitch
gauge: not important, but mine are about 1 1/2 – 1 1/4 inches across
“Big” Tiny Heart (the one on the left)
Make a magic ring.
R1: chain 1, sc into loop 7 times, pull loop closed, join with sl st to chain 1
R2: sl st into 1st stitch, 5 hdc into second stitch, hdc in next two stitches, hdc then chain 1 and hdc again in the bottom stitch, hdc in next two stitches, 5 hdc into next stitch, sl st in original sl st.
Give the tail a little tug to help form the heart V at the top, tie knot, weave ends.
Give the bottom stitches a little tug to make the V point at the bottom.
“Small” Tiny Heart (the one on the right)
Repeat pattern, but replace sc for hdc.
I’m a newbie and not able to find an answer online of how to “make a magic loop.” All references seem to be of using a circular needle. Are you able to direct me as to how to do this? Thank you! I love seeing what you’re creating!
Try this one!

It’s often called “Magic Ring”, which might be why you’re not finding it.
Monica, I added a link to a magic ring/loop/circle tutorial. Hope this helps!
Aww, that htis super cute! So many fun uses for this, thanks tons for sharing. I’ll be linking.
VERY cute! Thank you for sharing! I want to make some!
I just got done crocheting a baby beanie with black and white variegated yarn. These will be the perfect accessories to add to it!
These are so cute. Maybe I’ll have to ask my sister to show me enough crochet to do them.
Thanks for sharing your pattern. These are adorable! I linked back to your post on my blog :)
So cute! I just want to get out my crochet needle and have a go:-)
Julie,
So cute! I added a link to your page on my site (http://molleemac.blogspot.com). There is a pic of how I used the hearts on a doily.
I did have some trouble with the point and the top. As I made more, I think they started to look better. I’m making a garland w/ them now!
Thanks for the pattern!

Adorable! I’m trying them! But I taught myself to crochet last weekend and am not picking up on the “hdc chain 1 hdc in bottom stitch”… help?! Thx :)
what do you mean by “hdc chain 1 hdc in bottom stitch”?
Tianna and Farihah,
Let’s see if I can explain it in words a little better:
In that one stitch you are going to do one half double crochet, then chain one, and then in that very same stitch, do another half double crochet.
When you put a chain stitch between the two hdc stitches, it helps make the little point for the heart.
Thank you for the pattern! I will be making these today!
Thank you for sharing this! So cute and easy to make! :)
Thank you! I am going to try this!
These are so cute!
I’m trying to make them, but I’m such a newbie… I have a couple of questions, probably stupid ones.
First: what does R1 mean? And into which loop am I to sc 7 times?
Thanks already!
R1 means row one. I’ll send you a link with a video for the loop.
It worked! Thanks for your help! :)
Very nice & easy :) I can’t wait to try these!
this is so cute! thank you for sharing it. *bookmarked!*
I made a post about it, and I hope it’s okay (=

Hi Julie. I will be sharing your tiny heart pattern at Tangled Happy tomorrow. As always thanks for sharing! :)
These are so cute and fun to make. I have made many (many). I have threaded them on to large gold paper to include in this year’s Valentines.
hi
what does the hdc chain one hdc into bouttom mean iam lost there but love it
THANK YOU!!! I have been frustrated trying to find a good crochet heart. I am a beginner and can not do super difficult things. These are great!! Thank you so much
What does ‘5 hdc into second stitch, hdc in next two stitches, hdc chain 1 hdc in bottom stitch’ mean?
i understand how to hdc, but what does it mean by 5 into 2nd stitch and hdc chain 1 hdc?
Thanks for the tutorial! I’ve just made some of these to put in my hubby’s Valentine’s day card.
