Love is in the air and it’s so great to see such wholesome vibes around. As we enter into February, one of the things I love (haha) is how everyone gears up to remind their favorite people how much they mean to them. Whether it’s Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day, you could be spreading happiness to all those who matter in your life. This includes your spouse, children, teachers, neighbors, friends, relatives, students, and pretty much anyone who has a special place in your heart. And that’s what this roundup is all about — hearts!

6 Free Crochet Patterns With Hearts
These six free crochet patterns feature adorable hearts in them to get the sentiment across to your loved ones!
Puffy Hearts Blanket by Blackstone Designs
The Puffy Hearts Blanket is a fun blanket which works up quickly because you use chunky yarn to make it. That adds an extra warm and cuddly factor to it. You can even use up all your scrap reds and pinks to make the hearts in different colors!
Helena Heart Mitts by Banana Moon Studio
Springtime is warmer than winter but not enough for you to chuck your cold gear into the closet just yet (especially up north). Fingerless gloves are usually perfect in this weather because they allow you to get your tasks done and keep your hands warm but not too hot.
Lots of Love Heart Pillow by Chain 8 Designs
This cushion cover makes a wonderful gift for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, or a housewarming, and, of course, you can also make it to keep for you! The front cover is made with a combination of single crochet and bobble stitches, which gives the pillow a great nubby texture. With the ease of both stitches, this is a perfect project for an advanced beginner. The back features a button closure so you can remove your pillow easily.
Heart Drawstring Bag by Nicki’s Homemade Crafts
This cute little filet crochet bag features a heart on the top with an i-cord closure. You can fill it with all sorts of goodies and once you get the hang of making them, make plenty for gifting! This is definitely a unique packaging for your presents.
Amigurumi Heart by Crochet 365 Knit Too
This is an adorable, puffy, soft amigurumi heart. Quick and fun to make, this heart is perfect to use as a decor item or to say ‘I Love You’ to someone special! You can bulk-crochet these and use up all of the scraps of yarn you have by making them in colors your friends and family love.
The Heart Square by CoCo Crochet Lee
This super easy heart square can be used on its own or in a larger project. You can sew them into a large blanket or put them together into a cushion cover. Or, if you want, you can make smaller items too like makeup bags or coasters.
