Mini Heart Valentine's Day Garland

Love is in the air... and hanging from the door frames...

Here's a free pattern and tutorial for a little Valentine's Day seasonal decor to cozy up your home! My garland was about 5 feet long and used about 27 mini hearts! This little garland is happiest when all the hearts can rest against the wall or door frame, instead of swooping loosely. Otherwise they tend to face the floor a bit.

Instructions

  1. Small 6674271919 19ca5eb60e

    Using Crochet Today's free mini heart pattern, crochet about 25 - 30 mini hearts! http://www.crochettoday.com/sites/crochettoday.com/files/patterns-pdf/CrochetValentine.pdf

  2. Small 8420942719 2a8d1c20e4

    Line up your hearts in the order you'd like them.

  3. Small 8422050770 52e1412052

    Measure out your string to string the hearts on. You'll use knots to hold the hearts in place, so get your yarn needle threaded! Tie a knot. String heart. Tie a second knot. Then repeat, allowing about an inch and a half or so of space between each heart. It looks like this.

  4. Small 8420950847 8ddfca8173

    It can be tricky to get the knot to land where you want it, but here's some tips. Make a loop about where you want your knot to go, and pass your yarn needle through the loop.

  5. Small 8420952279 0824416372

    Hold the loop down with your fingers as you pull the needle through. It takes a little pushing and pulling but your knot shouldn't land too far off from where you want it.

  6. Small 8420953881 9877de7ed8

    To string your heart, thread your needle from the back to the front, then out the back again.

    Continue to all hearts are used.
