A few years ago I created a crochet heart pattern (Heart on a Sleeve Crochet Heart Pattern) and used it to make a scarf for my daughter. I LOVED how it turned out, and when a crocheter friend sent me a picture of her finished scarf, she turned it into a conversation heart scarf!
Check out the free crochet heart scarf pattern that uses this heart pattern as a template:
Well, I decided to re-write it, and create a conversation heart scarf version, and also simplify the pattern. It turned out great! Learning how to crochet a heart is easy, and I hope you enjoy using this cute crochet heart pattern in many of your projects! These are so awesome…

How to Crochet a Heart for Beginners
This easy how to crochet a heart tutorial and pattern has four rows, which makes it super simple. It uses the basics of all crochet stitches; the single crochet, half double crochet, and treble crochet. There is one somewhat “advanced” stitch called the stacked treble crochet.
Alternatives to using a stacked treble crochet
You don’t need to create the stacked treble crochet if you don’t want to – do this instead:
- Chain 3 to start round 1, then make 1 treble crochet into the ring.
- Continue with Steps 3 – 7.
- For step 8 (beginning of round 2), single crochet into the 3rd chain from beginning of round (into it, not around it).
- Continue on to step 10.
Learn the Stacked Treble Crochet
Ultimately, watching the video will help you learn this stitch the best. However, here is a step by step guide to creating the stacked treble crochet. To get a visual of what a stacked treble crochet looks like, refer to Step 2 below.
- Create a single crochet in magic circle.
- Insert hook in left vertical bar of the single crochet V.
- Yarn over, draw up a loop.
- Yarn over, and compete your single crochet by drawing through both loops on hook.
- Repeat steps 2 – 4 one more time to complete 1 stacked treble crochet.

One of the most appealing hearts I’ve found. I used this as a center and created my own unique granny square… it’s perfect for the blanket I’m making! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I’m so glad it worked out well for you!
I am so glad to find your post, beautiful solid hearts❤️ the round 3 SC stitches border creates a flat edging. I am crocheting 3 different sizes of hearts to appliqué at the back of a triangle shawl. Thank you for sharing.
That’s great I’m so glad it helps you!
Thank You so much for this pattern. I’m not so good on math and I will probably need two more rounds as I’m using thing yarn for a baby project. Can you help me with that?
Wonderful hearts, they came out perfect!! Where can I find the instructions to crochet around them, to make them square?
I haven’t come up with that yet, but I can try!
