Valentine’s Day Crochet Project Ideas
If you are wondering what you can crochet on Valentine’s Day, I hope this list will inspire you to decide what your next project will be. But here are the best ideas for Valentine’s Day Crochet Patterns you can make:
- Home decor patterns – such as, blankets, cushions, garlands, and towels.
- Stuffed animals and dolls – such as, gnomes, teddy bears, or other animals.
- Everything heart themed – some ideas are keychains, potholders, coasters, and baskets.
- Valentine’s Day wearable accessories – such as, hats, mittens, and scarves.
- Valentine’s Day Miscellaneous patterns – you can make things like bookmarkers, cup cozies, treat bags, and worry worms.
Supplies & Tools
Generally, if you have a crochet hook and yarn, you can crochet anything. But depending on what you’re making, you may need other materials. Here is what you will use for most Valentine’s Day Crochet Patterns in this roundup:
- Yarn – light worsted/DK (#3) and worsted weight (#4) yarns are the most common types for these patterns. And, unless it’s a wearable, such as a hat, you can usually adapt them to your favorite yarns.
- Crochet hooks – the size will depend on what you’re making, and the yarn used. But make sure you check the pattern for the recommended hook size.
- Stuffing Fiber – if you’re making Amigurumi animals or dolls, you will need fiber to stuff them. My favorite is Poly-fil stuffing fiber, it is of excellent quality and affordable.
- Safety eyes and noses – unless you’re making your stuffed animals and dolls for babies, these are essential for your Amigurumi supplies toolbox. I recommend embroidering eyes and other facial features if you’re making them for young children.
- Tapestry Needles – my favorite are these bent tips needles. They make life easier if when you’re working with tighter stitches.
- Scissors – it’s good to have a pair of sharp scissors in every corner of your home you sit to crochet.
- Other notions and supplies – embroidery threads, stitch markers, measuring tape, and stuffing tools.
Techniques and Skills you’ll need
Now that you know what materials you’ll be using for these Valentine’s Day Crochet Patterns, what about skills? Here is a list of the basic stitches and techniques you will need:
- Single Crochet Stitches – in rows and rounds.
- Amigurumi – you’ll need to know how to do a magic circle, single crochet in continuous rounds and invisible decrease.
- Double and Half Double Crochet Stitches – double and half double crochet stitches will be used in projects like water bottle covers, blankets, and scarves.
- Colorwork – some simple color change or other colorwork may be needed for some of these projects. You may need to know how to do intarsia crochet, for example.
- Basic embroidery – Amigurumi patterns sometimes require some simple embroidery for their facial features.
- Basic hand sewing – this is needed for sewing parts together. Sometimes you’ll need to sew smaller heart appliqués and buttons to larger projects as well.
- Pattern reading – most patterns in this list were written using US and UK crochet terminologies. Make sure you’re familiar with those terms and abbreviations.
