easy crochet hearts

This crochet mini heart pattern can be worked up in a matter of minutes, making it a quick and easy pattern. It’s also easily adaptable by simply switching up the yarn weight and hook size. I’ve made a few examples that you can see below and each of them look equally adorable.

The pattern is made by starting with a magic ring (also known as a magic circle) and only has one round of stitches. If you would prefer not to use a magic ring, you could start off with a chain 3 instead. This would be a great option for Chenille yarn in particular…chenille and magics rings don’t tend to be the best of friends!

Materials & Tools

• Yarn – any weight and colour
• Crochet Hook – use the recommended hook size stated on the yarn band or adjust to your tension.
• Darning Needle
• Scissors
