Tiny Crochet Heart Pattern & Tutorial

This tiny crochet heart is an incredibly easy project that only requires two basic stitches. With some yarn, a crochet hook and about a minute of your time, you can create this simple crochet heart, perfect to add as an embellishment to all sorts of crochet projects.

All the other methods of making crochet hearts I knew produced hearts that were far too big for the project I needed them for. No matter how small the hook size I used or how I tried to adapt the patterns to make them smaller, nothing worked.

I needed to create the tiniest heart that would fit on the Emoji Worry Worm I was working on. After a bit of experimentation, I almost gave up…

until one night, when I had a hard time falling asleep, the idea for this simple crochet heart popped into my head…

I got up immediately, tried it out and if worked!

So I’m really excited to show you how I did it and you’ll be surprised how incredibly easy it is.

What You’ll Learn

  • How to crochet the smallest heart to add as an appliqué to your crochet projects.
  • Some project ideas for your tiny crochet hearts.

Materials Needed

  • Some classic worsted weight yarn (colors of your choice). Any yarn would do really, just make sure it’s not hairy or fuzzy.
  • Crochet hook that fits your yarn. I used a 2.5mm hook
  • A tapestry needle
  • A pair of scissors

Abbreviations Used In This Pattern
ch = chain
sl st = slip stitch
st = stitch
sts = stitches

Skill Level
Beginner

Measurement
This tiny heart measures approximately: H = 0.5 inches (1.5 cm), and W = 0.6 inches (1.7 cm).

Gauge
Note: Gauge is not really that crucial for this tutorial. Just try experimenting with different hook sizes to get a gauge you are happy with for the project you are working on.

For this project, my gauge was 6 stitches & 2 rows in dc = 2.5 cm

Notes

  • You can use any type of yarn as long as you have a corresponding crochet hook size (check yarn label for recommendations)
  • I use US crochet terms.
