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.

Materials Needed

• A tapestry needle
• A pair of scissors
