To crochet a small heart applique, you will need a crochet hook and yarn in the color of your choice. Here are the steps to follow:
-
Start by making a slip knot on your crochet hook.
-
Chain 3 stitches. This will form the base of your heart.
-
Single crochet twice into the first chain stitch you made. This will create a small circle at the base of your heart.
-
Single crochet twice into each of the next two chain stitches. This will create the lower half of your heart shape.
-
To make the upper half of the heart, single crochet once into the next chain stitch, then single crochet twice into the next chain stitch. This will create a small bump in the center of the heart.
-
Finally, single crochet once into the last chain stitch and fasten off your yarn.
You should now have a small heart-shaped applique that you can use to embellish a variety of different projects, such as scarves, hats, blankets, or even clothing.
