Crochet Heart Patterns: 8 Free Designs
Crochet hearts can be flat appliques, stuffed amigurumi pieces, or worked in several sizes. These eight original patterns make it easier to choose the shape and scale you want before beginning.
Stuffed versions need fiberfill on hand; flat appliques just need a hook you’re comfortable with.
Heart patterns to explore
1. Crochet Heart Pattern
Cheryl Bennett at Crochet 365 Knit Too offers a flat heart in three sizes a 4 by 3.5 inch medium, a smaller version, and a tiny oblong in worsted weight yarn on H-8/5mm and G-6/4mm hooks, starting from a magic ring and mixing stitch heights (single, half double, double, and treble crochet) to shape the curve.
2. Amigurumi Heart
Cheryl Bennett at Crochet 365 Knit Too finishes 5 by 5 inches in super bulky yarn (about ¾ ounce) on a J 10/6mm hook, with two top bumps made separately, joined in one round, then the gap sewn closed.
3. Crochet Heart Pattern – 3 Sizes
Sarah Stearns at Sarah Maker reaches 3.25 by 3 inches at its largest in worsted weight yarn on an H/5mm hook, worked in rounds from a magic ring where stopping after round one, two, or three gives a mini, medium, or large heart, finished with an invisible join.
4. Easy Amigurumi Stuffed Heart
OkieGirlBling’n’Things builds the heart top down from two joined circles with a 4.5 mm hook and worsted yarn, finishing about 3.5 inches, or 5.5 inches with bulky yarn and a 6 mm hook.
5. 3D Puffy Crochet Heart Tutorial
Giulia Pinkytime crochets two separate rounded lobes in continuous rounds, then joins them side by side and stuffs gradually as the rounds close, which is what actually gives this heart its puffy 3D shape instead of a flat applique look.
6. Heart Amigurumi
StringyDingDing crochets the left and right halves separately in medium weight red yarn on a 4mm hook, then joins and decreases them into a 3D point.
7. Two-Bump Amigurumi Heart
Lindsay at Making Stitches Blog works two rounded “bumps” that join at round seven, in DK weight yarn on a hook one size below the ball band recommendation, stuffed as the rounds close.
8. Amigurumi Heart
My Amigurumi Farm’s version stays small at 6cm tall, working two identical heart lobes for the first five rounds before joining them and continuing in a spiral through round 20, stuffing as the decreases shape the point.
