14 Quick-Stitch Crochet Projects for Valentine's Day

Valentine’s Day is all about showing your love, and what better way to do so than with a crocheted gift? These quick-stitch patterns can be made for your sweetheart or BFF, or you could stitch ’em up for a bit of self-love. Whichever you choose to make, you can finish in just a weekend — start early and see how many you can finish by V-Day.

1. Granny Square With a Heart

If you love crocheting granny squares, make ’em with a heart! You can use any yarn and hook you have on-hand. Once they’re finished, gift ’em as a set of cute coasters. Feeling extra ambitious? Make them part of a larger project, like an afghan.

2. Crochet Hearts

The sky’s the limit with these crochet hearts. Make them into any color and size you wish, then use them to decorate your home or to top a gift. Bonus: this is the perfect project to use up those extra yarn scraps.

3. Chrysanthemum Shrug

Show off your Valentine’s Day style with a crochet shrug. The floral design gives it a romantic flair, and the recommended mohair/silk blend yarn is oh-so-luxurious. And while it comes together quickly, it’ll look like you spent hours on the complex design.

4. Cabled Bobble Clutch

Crochet a quick cable and bobble stitch clutch you can then stuff with chocolates. Want to test your skills in the kitchen? You could make those from scratch too, making it a truly handmade gift any Valentine would adore.
