This easy crochet heart pattern will show you step by step how to crochet a heart. You can use this free crochet heart pattern to make a heart-shaped dishcloth or a wonderful decoration for Valentine’s Day.
This classic crochet heart pattern works up really quickly – you can make it in approx. 1 hour. Use any colors and make lots of crochet hearts to give as gifts or sell at craft shows!
To crochet this simple heart pattern, you can use any size 4 yarn. I recommend using 100% cotton, especially if you are using this crochet heart pattern to make a dishcloth.
You can absolutely make this crochet heart as a decorative item (or for lots of other purposes) but it works really well as a crochet heart dishcloth pattern! The pattern alternates between single crochet and double crochet stitches, which creates a lovely texture – ideal for washing dishes.
Plus, the crochet heart border alternates between single crochet and triple crochet stitches, adding even more texture if your pots and pans are being extra stubborn.
The pattern creates a durable, textured dishcloth (if you are using it as a heart-shaped dishcloth) that is the average size of a dishcloth. Plus it folds perfectly over the top of your sink’s faucet.

Easy
The pattern creates a heart that is approx. 10.5” wide x 10” high.
4” x 4” = 12 sts and 11 rows (following the pattern)
Yarn: Any size 4 (medium) 100% cotton yarn. You will need approx. 72 yds / 45 g (56 yds for the body and 16 yds for the border). I used Bernat Handicrafter Cotton Yarn in the color “Red”. This yarn is size 4, 100% cotton. A skein is 50 g / 1.75 oz, 80 yds / 73 m. I used one skein.
Crochet Hook: H/8 (5.00 mm).
Other Materials: yarn needle, scissors.
This heart crochet pattern is written in English for right-handed crochet using US terminology. If you are more familiar with UK terminology, check out my US to UK Conversion Chart.
sc/dc2tog = Insert your hook into the next st, yarn over and pull up a loop (2 loops on hook). Yarn over and insert your hook into the next st, yarn over and pull up a loop (4 loops on hook). Yarn over and pull the yarn through 2 loops on hook (3 loops left on hook). Yarn over and pull yarn through all 3 loops on hook.
