Let me show you how to make 3 different crochet hearts with worsted weight (4) yarn. It is pretty simple. Find the free crochet patterns for the Tiny Heart, Small Heart, and Little Heart below.
The Small Hearts are the perfect applique for the Diamond Basket made in Valentine colors.
You can make a garland that has all three different sized hearts on it or put a Tiny heart in a valentine’s card or put one in your little’s lunchbox, or use the Small Heart to make a keychain.
There are so many things you can do with these crochet hearts.
Here’s a list of ideas for crafting with three small crochet hearts, including your suggestions and additional ones:
- Appliqués: Attach them to clothing, bags, hats, scarves, or blankets.
- Valentine’s Card Decor: Glue or stitch them onto cards for a handmade touch, or just throw the teeny heart into the envelope.
- Table Decor: Sprinkle all three sizes on a table as festive confetti.
- Towel Topper Embellishment: Sew one onto the tab of a crochet towel topper for extra charm. Here is a Simple Towel Topper Crochet Pattern that will work perfectly for this project.
- Keychain or Bag Charm: Sew two together, stuff lightly, and attach to a keyring or bag clip. It is so easy to stuff a bit of poly fil down inside before sewing the last few stitches, just as I did for these cute Scented Sunflowers.
- Pocket Pal: Give a stuffed heart to a child as a small “pocket hug.”
- Magnets: Add a magnet to the back for a cute refrigerator decoration.
- Ornaments: Hang them as mini ornaments for Valentine’s Day or any special occasion.
- Brooch or Pin: Attach a pin backing to create a brooch or lapel pin. To create a vintage look, put a small amount of ruffled lace on behind the heart…maybe embellish with a mini bow as I did when designing a Preemie Puppy Dog Hat.
- Hair Accessories: Glue or sew them onto hair clips, headbands, or barrettes.
- Gift Wrap Accent: Tie or glue them onto gift boxes or bags as a decorative detail.
- Wreath Decorations: Add them to a Valentine’s-themed wreath.
- Mini Garland: String them together to make a delicate garland for a shelf or mantle.
- Cup Cozy Accent: Sew or glue them onto crochet or knitted cup cozies.
- Bookmark: Attach a heart to a string or ribbon for a sweet bookmark.
- Napkin Rings: Add them to napkin rings for a festive table setting.
- Photo Frame Decor: Use them to decorate a plain photo frame.
- Sachets: Stuff two together for a tiny pillow, add a bit of stuffing with a little bit of scented candle wax, to make a fun sachet to throw in your drawer, as I did with these Mini Scented Pumpkins.
- Planner or Journal Charm: Add a loop and tie it to a planner or journal as a charm.
- DIY Earrings: Attach hooks to the teeny and tiny hearts for mismatched or matching earrings.
- Bunting Flags: Decorate small crochet flags with hearts for bunting.
- Cupcake Toppers: Attach to toothpicks or small skewers for reusable cupcake toppers.
- Luggage Tags: Sew one onto fabric to make a personalized tag.
- Valentine’s Favor Bags: Sew one onto small drawstring bags for gifting candy or small items.

I have appliqued a heart to the tab of the Simple Towel Topper, but I have also created a Floating Heart Stitch.
The floating heart stitch has been used in many of my designs. There is a coffee cozy, a lovely Cloche, a cute beanie a messy bun hat, and finally a towel topper. The floating hearts stitch is an intermediate to advanced crochet stitch, so these small crocheted hearts are a great option for you to try.
