Hearts, they say you care year round, not just on Valentine’s. Hearts are a great theme for crocheting projects, be they on toys, pillows, or as below, on blankets. In fact, it is just about the ideal cover for a kid’s bed, a throw in a nursery, or something for the bedroom. In general, the patterns are easy and don’t require much in the way of fancy yarns or the knowledge of a million stitches. Indeed, a few basic techniques and some yarn ends will get you well on the way to a blanket of hearts.
Colorful Heart Blanket
If a caleidoscope of colors is your thing, as indeed it is for many of us, then you can’t go far wrong with the colorful heart blanket. This is a square-based cover with a dense, drapy structure and crisp, well-defined borders between the squares. Consequently, you can multiply the colors to infinity, but the border stops them from clashing.

Granny Heart Baby Blanket Free Crochet Pattern
The Granny Heart Blanket is a wonderful example of how to approximate curved outlines using geometric shapes. In this case, the hearts are made using hexagons and their intersections. One larger one for the body of the heart and two smaller ones as the lobes. The author presents two ways of making the heart panels, a slow and steady one and a “wilder”, quick one. Both can be used to achieve this wonderful, and relatively easy, blanket that will be great for the little rug-rats play safely on.

Mended Hearts Blanket Crochet Pattern
“Mended Hearts” is a large-ish afghan measuring 51 by 71 inches. While it’s lovely in its own right, the pattern also carries a comforting message. It’s one of those projects that really render what crocheting is all about: the combination of color, texture, technique and a modicum of emotion. “Mended Hearts” is an intermediate project that will keep the more advanced of us entertained, but still give the ambitious beginner a run for her money.
