Valentine crochet patterns to show your love
1. Make a simple crochet heart
Let's begin with the simplest Valentine's crochet pattern - a sweet crochet heart.
You can't go wrong with this sweet little pattern, and even those who are relatively new to crochet can give it a try (you'll just need to know some basic crochet stitches and how to crochet in the round).
What we like most is the idea that you can use it as creatively as you wish. This crochet heart can easily be made into a Valentine's gift.
It would look great attached to the front of a Valentine's card, sew a safety pin on the back for a quick brooch, or hook up a load of them to embellish a plain jumper!

2. Learn how to crochet a rose for Valentine's Day
When it comes to the most iconic gift to give on Valentine's Day, it's got to be the classic red rose. But why pay extortionate prices for a single bloom that will eventually die, when you make crochet Valentine gifts that will last forever?
It may look complicated, but once you learn how to crochet a rose you'll find it's surprisingly simple – why stop at one and make a whole bouquet?
