Crochet Heart Pattern and Tutorial

Christmas has always been the holiday that I decorate for. In October my awesome mom helped me make some Halloween decorations, and this year for Valentine's Day I decided to make a simple crochet heart decoration. Someday I may have decorations for every holiday! 

I found this pattern on Everything Etsy (here) and loved it. I thought I would use the same pattern and add pictures to give a nice little tutorial for you. 

NOTE: a treble and a triple crochet are the same thing; I will call it a treble. 

First, make a slip knot: 

Chain 4: 

Crochet 3 treble crochets into the first chain:

Wrap yarn around hook twice

Insert hook into first chain

 Wrap yarn around hook

Pull through chain space (this will give you 4 loops on your hook)

 Wrap yarn around hook

Pull through 2 loops (this will give you 3 loops on your hook)

Wrap yarn around hook 

Pull through 2 loops (this will leave you with 2 loops on your hook)

Wrap yarn around your hook 

Pull through last 2 loops

That is one treble crochet. Crochet 2 more of those into the same space as the first. You will end up with this: 

Chain 1:

Now crochet three double crochets into the same space as the trebles (that very first chain)

Wrap yarn around hook

 Insert into first chain space

Wrap yarn around hook

Pull through chain space (this will give you three loops on your hook)

Wrap yarn around hook

Pull through two loops (this will leave you with 2 loops on your hook)

Wrap yarn around hook 

Pull through both loops 

That is one double crochet. Crochet two more double crochets into that first chain space. You will then have this:

Chain 1:

Crochet 1 treble (triple) crochet into the first chain space. This will be the point of your heart: 

Chain 1:

Crochet 3 double crochets into the first chain space:

Chain 1:

Crochet 3 treble crochets into the first chain space: 

Chain 3:

Slip stitch into the first chain space and cut yarn: 

Pull yarn to the back of the heart and tie a knot to finish:

Congrats! You have made a little crochet heart! 

These were so fast that I made a bunch and made them into a garland.
