Here is a free crochet pattern for a small heart. It is a great quick project for Valentine’s Day. The pattern has motifs similar to my previous heart (you can take a look at the pattern here), but instead of a square in the center, it has a circle, which resembles the treble crochets that are on the sides. Also, this heart is a bit bigger and requires a couple more stitches.
I think that both hearts look pretty good together, so if you would like to hang them together or make a garland of hearts, it would definitely work.
The free pattern includes a list of materials, abbreviations, notes, and a written pattern. The PDF pattern also includes a chart.

Heart 2
Materials
- Yarn: I used grey Madame tricote Almina 8/4 100% cotton yarn 50 g. However, any thin cotton yarn will work.
- Hook: I use a 2.0 mm hook. If you are using a different yarn, choose the hook size that is recommended on your yarn label.
Abbreviations (US terms)
- sl st: slip stitch
- st: stitch
- ch: chain
- sc: single crochet
- hdc: half double crochet
- dc: double crochet
- trc: treble crochet
- sc inc: single crochet increase
- dc inc: double crochet increase
- prev: previous
- rnd: round

Notes
The size of the heart is 6.0 x 5.5 cm. You will be working in rounds. Depending on how tight your stitches are, in the last round you might find it better to make 3 sc in ch1 spaces between the trc instead of 2 sc.
