Valentine’s Day is a day to remember not only a significant other, but anyone special in your life. We have collected patterns appropriate for a spouse, parent, teacher, best friend, and more. Most patterns require only small amounts of yarn, so this is a perfect time to use up all your best remnants of red, pink, white—or any festive yarn. Get your hooks out, scroll down to the pattern links below, and pick your pattern.
Crochet Valentines
When you crochet a Valentine, you let the recipient know you spent time thinking about them. Start with a Basic Crocheted Heart, simple enough to make for an entire class. Add them to ribbons for a Valentine’s bookmark or tuck them into an envelope with a special Valentine’s card.
Other easy Valentine’s Day patterns include Baby Heart Mittens or a Sweetheart Hat for a baby’s first Valentine. Make a bunch of pastel hearts and join them into a Conversation Heart Garland to use for a party decoration or as a permanent ornament in a bedroom or family room. Add a handmade touch to a gift of candy or jewelry with a Heart Basket, Nesting Baskets, or Gift Card Holder.
If you have more time, skill, and ambition, we have bigger projects as well. Make a crocheted Valentine’s Bear, Panda, or Koala stuffed doll—a perfect companion for a bouquet of flowers or a box of chocolates. An Infinity Scarf is a gift that will be appreciated on many cold February days, not just Valentine’s Day.
More Festive Ideas for Crochet
Many of the patterns in this collection could also be used for other occasions, such as the Hearts and Doilies Crochet Valentine Bunting for a bridal luncheon or baby shower or the Mini Treat Bags for a birthday party. There is no reason your crocheted hearts should be limited to a single holiday, after all!
Many of the projects would also be great housewarming gifts, thank you gifts, or get well gifts.
What about Knitters?
No worries: we have collected free Valentine’s Day knit patterns as well. Get your needles ready for some fun.
Note: Consider crafting some extra crochet Valentines to donate to a hospital, retirement home, or crisis center. Your thoughtful use of your creative gifts could brighten a stranger’s day (as well as your own.) Be sure to check with any institution for safety considerations for any donations.
