PatternPiper published the sweetest crochet heart tutorial on her blog. It’s the perfect Valentines Day project. Don’t forget that I am giving 14% off on pink, red and white yarn in my Etsy shop with the code 14LOVE.

Do you like my crochet heart garland?

I’ve been wanting to make one for a while but have always found hearts a bit tricky!
I like to try and figure crochet out for myself. I love admiring other people’s work and I will make things from the lovely patterns from my Simply Crochet magazine subscription. But I figure that if I want to sell my crochet makes then they should be a PatternPiper original – including the pattern.

I know that there are similar crochet hearts out there, but I can honestly say that I worked out this dinky little heart pattern all by myself and haven’t referred to any other patterns or tutorials.

So, here is my first attempt at writing a tutorial – it’s blumin hard work don’t you know! I’ve probably gone into far too much detail, but I’m a self taught crocheter and I wanted to…

I have a Valentines Day gift for you! It’s not chocolates, it’s not a card or flowers, it’s what I know you want: cheap yarn!

From 1 to 16 February I’m giving you 14% discount on white, pink and red yarn in my Etsy shop with the code LOVE14. A ball of beautiful hand dyed cotton yarn will cost you £3.01 in stead of £3.50. £3.01 is a funny price, but 14% is a funny discount too. And just to make it even more weird crazy unique I thought I’d extend the discount two days past Valentines Day because… well, just because I can. Why be normal right?

Just type in the code LOVE14 on the check out page and I’ll get your yarn to you in the flashiest of flashes so you have enough time to whip up something LOVEly.

You could make a heart-shaped cushion like the one I made as a photography prop for Delia McDonagh Photography, or a Valentines Day coaster.  The coaster is available on Bella Dia’s blog here, and the cushion is a great pattern by FreshStitches available here. I made the heart-shaped coaster for John four Valentines Days ago, and he still uses it.

Will you be crocheting something for someone special this Valentines Day? I think crocheted gifts for a man for Valentines Day is quite tricky. The best I could come up with was that heart-shaped coaster. That was four years ago. Nothing else comes to mind. Can you think of something manly and heart-shaped to crochet? If you do, please let me know!
