What little girl doesn't like pretty things in her hair. I know our little girls sure do!
♥
So when I saw these cute hair pins, I gathered snippets of yarn and my crochet hook to make a bunch.
Cheryl from Flower Girl Cottage graciously shared her Simple and Cute Crochet Heart Pattern.
After completing the hair pins, I played around with the pattern to see if I could give the hearts more of a point on the bottom. Just a Treble crochet seemed to do the trick. The heart on the left has the Treble Crochet, the heart on the right is the original pattern.
Here is my slightly adapted version of Cheryl's pattern for
Simple & Cute little Crochet Heart
I used worsted weight yarn and a 'G' hook
- Form an adjustable circle (I ch 4 and slip stitch to the 1st ch to form a circle)
- Chain 2
- Work 4 Double Crochets, 1 Treble crochet and 4 more Double crochets into the circle.
- Chain 2
- (Do Not Join to first chain 2 stitches)
- Slip Stitch into the Circle
- Cut yarn bind off & slip loose end thru the center of circle to the back of your work
- Pull the Circle Closed with the other loose end
- Tie the loose ends together in a square knot
- Trim off excess
I hot-glued a plain Bobby pin to the back of each finished heart and then glued a small square of felt on top.
The Bobby Pins were attached to a card made in a photo editing program and printed onto card stock.
After poking holes into the card stock, simply slide the Bobby Pin through.
Ready to send!
Now to come up with something for the boys.

This is just unbelievable! I just got back from the store with some valentine - looking yarn to crochet little hearts for hair pins. I sat down at the computer to google how to crochet a heart. No kidding. Your post was there on my reader so I opened it and what did my wondering eyes behold! Thanks? There is also the sweet idea of little felt hearts layered with simple stitches and attached to a baret or hair clip. It's on pinterest--you've probably seen it. So cute! Thanks!
A cute idea, they will love them, pretty colors too! For the boys...good luck! ;D
These bobby pins are so lovely. Wonderful gift idea!
What a clever & darling gift.
Have a great eve ~

I have 4 little granddaughters who would love these. Thanks for sharing the idea with us. I do like the extra point that the treble crochet gives.
I wish I were a little girl again!!!
Very cute, L! I have one gdau and 3 gsons. I always find for gdau, but it is hard to find for the little boys!
Got any ideas?
So sweet, Lorraine! They will love them.
Boys are hard for us gals who love to sew and make 'pretty' things! But I always think little boys love some lovin from the oven ~ a bag of homemade cookies just for them!
:~P
These are just darling and I know the girls will love them. Knowing your flair for the creative, and love for those grandkids, you will come up with something just as special for the boys!
Blessings~
