Would you like to make some sweet crochet hearts to give to someone special? My cute little hearts were inspired by vintage crochet so I added a cream edging. This crochet heart pattern reminds me of faded crochet doilies.
The pattern includes a helpful photo tutorial.
Plus the latest updates from Annie Design Crochet!
You could crochet some pretty Gerbera Flowers to add to your hearts!

Hi, I am working on self publishing a book (not a crochet book) in a month or so. Is it okay if I use your Vintage hearts for one of the freebies? (if I have enough time as I am including flower brooches (own pattern). Thanks 🎈
Hi:) I do not allow my pattern text or pictures to be published anywhere. If you want to include a link to the pattern on my blog, drop me an email at @carmen_heffernan@hotmail.com
My mom would love making a few of such, they look so cute
Thank you so much this is the best heart pattern ever 😍
Thank you!
Could you possibly do a video tutorial that shows you crocheting each row? I got to row 8 and now am kind of stuck because I don’t understand exactly what is meant by working stitches evenly and the pictures don’t really show this clearly. I am pretty new at this and need really specific instructions. Sorry for being so dense.
You are not dense at all! And I am planning to make a video nexzt week for this pattern. If you make 1 sc in each row end, you should then reach the bottom where you will make [1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 sc] into point at the bottom. Rip back and try again if it does not work first time until it looks even. I promise you will get the hang of it with practise!
I have thought so many times of entering the blogging world as I love reading them. I think I finally have the courage to give it a try. Thank you so much for all of the ideas!
Thanks for the easy to understand pattern! I’m a beginner, trying to teach myself, and not all of the patterns I find are as clear and easy to understand as this one! Thanks again!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your lovely comment x
I’m going to make it a point to follow you and remember to check your patterns whenever I’m looking for one from now on! And I’m going to check out your flower pattern now!
