Put a Heart On It: 6 Crochet Valentine’s Day Projects

Confession: I have always loved Valentine’s Day. I know it gets a lot of heat for being a ‘made up’ holiday, and there’s plenty of wisdom in the criticism that we should celebrate love every day. But I won’t be shamed for embracing all things heart-shaped come February 14. This year I’m planning to mix in a few crochet Valentine’s Day projects, too, because nothing says love like something handmade.

Be My Valentine

Part of embracing this holiday is sending out Valentine’s to loved ones near and far. Rather than reach for premade cards this year, consider making your own handmade Valentines with crocheted hearts.

Little Hearts Cowl

While I fully embrace this holiday, sometimes you want your hearts to be a little more understated. The Little Hearts Cowl is the perfect accessory to add some love to your outfit without going full-on cupid.

Wrapped in Love

This Valentine’s Day, cuddle up with your cutie under the crocheted Heart Throw. This Tunisian colorwork blanket is worked in the round, and creates a reversible pattern.

The Key to My Heart

These adorable crocheted heart keychains are great stash busters. They work up quickly, too, using just single crochet stitches. Make a bunch to give as sweet crochet Valentine’s Day gifts to friends.

Crochet Valentine’s Day Hearts

While I’m always in favor of candy, this crocheted Candy Heart is plenty sweet, too. It works up quickly, so you can make one for your sweetie and still have time to pick up some edible treats, too.

Hidden Hearts

Hidden hearts are buried in the colorful Snefríd Cowl, which features a traditional selburose (a Norwegian rose) pattern. Center single crochet keeps the colorwork crisp and symmetrical.

We hope you feel the love in these crochet Valentine’s Day projects. Their heart motifs bring love from all of us at Interweave!
