Crochet a festive garland for your home!
They work together quickly!
You will find the basic heart pattern at Suzie's Stuff among many other great patterns.
Use size J crochet hook and worsted weight yarn.
Heart
Round 1
Chain 4. Make all of the next stitches in the first chain. 3 trc, 3 dc, chain 1, 1 trc, chain 1, 3 dc, 3 trc, chain 2 slip stitch
Round 2
Chain 3, in first trc make sc and hdc, in next stitch 3 hdc, in next stitch 2 hdc, sc in next four stitches, chain 1 dc in trc, chain 1, sc in next four stitches, 2 hdc in next stitch, 3 hdc in next stitch, hdc and sc in next stitch, chain 3 and slip stitch in center
Round 3
Chain 3 , sc in top of chain 3 from previous row , sc in each stitch all the way around (until chain 3 from previous row). I chained one at the tip of the heart to get around the point easier. At beginning of chain 3 from previous row chain three and slip stitch in center of heart. Pull the loop to the back and fasten off.
Inspired Crochet Designs wrote me and said that if you make the following changes on Round 3 it will keep the top of the heart from curling.
Round 3
Chain 3, sc in top of chain 3 from previous row , 2 sc in next stitch, sc in next stitch, 2 sc in next stitch, then sc in each of the next stitches until point of heart, chain one for point, sc in next five stitches, then sc in next st, 2 sc in next stitch, sc in next stitch, 2 sc in next stitch, chain three and then slip stitch in center of heart. Pull the loop to the back and fasten off.
Garland
Chain 45, in top of heart sc, chain 6, sc in top of other side of the heart, chain 12, sc in top of heart, chain 6, sc in top of other side of the heart, chain 12. Repeat until all hearts are joined, chain 45 fasten off.
Let me know how it goes!

Thanks for stopping by today!
Wow! Very cute! I’ll give this a try…
Very pretty!
I LOVE it! I’m going to my yarn stash to see if I have something to use to make this. I’m excited to start this project immediately.
Sooooo cooool! I’m going to give this a try tonight!
Thanks for this idea!! Home with the kids today on a snow day. Great project for me to crochet and hang out with them.
So far my first one turned out wonderfully. Going to make a bunch in Valentine colors.
Oooh! I am going to have to try this tonight. I just bought some red yarn the other day!
Way cute! I’m sending it to my big sis who is a happy hooker.
i’ve never been so sad that i don’t know how to crochet as i am now. is there ANYWAY to adapt this for knitting?! i’m too new to knitting to even know… it’s so lovely.
So pretty! How long does it take to do the whole thing? (An estimation of course.)
Wow! That looks awesome! I’m glad you posted it. I will have to try to create that!
This is so cute! I have to tell you I love your site. I sing that little tune Skip To My Lou every time I come across your page. You have so many neat ideas and I love it! I have put your button on my blog! Thanks! Dina
The hearts go very quickly once you make a couple. I think you could make enough for a garland (6 or so) in an hour, then it doesn’t take long to attach them to a chain.
I am so sorry but I don’t know how to make a knitted one. Maybe someone else will!
Too cute!! I wanna try it!!
I love this but my tennis elbow doesn’t let me crochet. Do you sell these?
This is just too cute.
Those are sweet! I’ve passed it on to my crochet buddies online, thanks for sharing :O).
This is just darling. Your time into it is so special.
I think it’s FABULOUS! I’ll be linking and I hope I get time to give it a shot! I love the way it looks over the window!
That’s a wonderful garland! I’ve got to try this sometime.
Dina, you could probably find a knitted heart pattern online somewhere (try checking here: http://knittingpatterncentral.com/directory/hearts.php). A chain is just pulling one loop through another, like knitting one stitch over and over again. And you could attach the chain to the hearts by knitting them together.
I will have to give this one a try! Your hearts are gorgeous!! I think I am addicted to your projects… lol!
I wonder how this will look on my banister?! hmm…
Adorable! Can’t wait to try them, going to look for yarn right now! Thanks for the cute idea!
This brightens up my day, wish I could crochet a little better!
I wish I knew how to crochet – these are cute. Maybe my mom needs a project…..
Just wanted to say “hi” and let you know I’m thinking of you as Kansas Day approaches.
Cheers!

cute! I love heart shaped anything! Can’t get enough of Valentine’s day!
I really love the blog makeover! You are always so crafty. Those hearts are darling.
SO cool! I’m making this my after bedtime project for tonight. I have my doubts that mine will turn out half as cute as yours, but I’ll never know until I try! I love this idea!
I don’t crochet at all, so I’m impressed that you modified a pattern and made this great garland!
Very cute. I am definately gonna make this. Thanks so much for the tutorial. You are so crafty
Oh I love it! I just made some heart garland but I like how your’s is continuous. I’ll have to give this one a go ~ Have a great day.
Sweet, I just might have to try that and I love your heart muffins pan
There is nothing that matches a personal gift from the heart!!
You’re a genius! I just made this and it’s wonderful. I made it in white wool, to add a little romance to a boring shelf in our bedroom. I’m going to make a couple more in red for Valentine’s day–they really did stitch up in a hurry. I love your blog–thank you so much for all you share.
This is the cutest darn thing ever. I love it!
You are a good pattern writer because I actually could follow yours where I have a hard time with others!
super cute idea! My kiddos love the ones I made for their rooms. I could go overborad with heart garland, but I think my hubby might object!
i love these! thanks for sharing!
What a great project! They do come together quickly. I got so inspired, that I added tiers and added pink ruffle fringe for accent. I also varied the sizes to keep it from looking too bulky. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love that garland. Perhaps you’re not a crochet pattern writer, but perhaps you should be.
Thanks for sharing this! I had some simple surgery earlier in the week but have enjoyed resting up in bed making these little hearts – I think I might do up another one for my son’s kindergarten classroom.

Those hearts seem a great way to use scraps or leftovers.
I really wanted to do this, but I just cannot get the hang of crochet — so I wanted a garland so bad, I turned to fabric. You can see it here — thanks for the inspiration!

I made a couple of these in the last few days and today made a little tiny heart version of this by using a magic circle and crocheting inside it. Make the magic circle then inside of it chain 4, 2 triple crochet, 3 double crochet, chain 1, 1 triple crochet, chain 1, 3 double crochet, 2 triple crochet, chain 3, and slip stitch to center of circle. Pull magic circle tight and tie off. I used it on a little baby bonnet. I’ll be posting pics tomorrow on my blog. http://saltforthespirit.blogspot.com.
Thanks for the inspiration!
