Free Valentine's Day Crochet Patterns

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and I often like to think about what I can make in terms of Valentines.   Handmade valentines can be a unique way to surprise your valentine.  Recently I have started to love crochet motifs because I am finding it easier to create tiny crochet items than it is to knit mini creations.  In my research, I have come across dozens of free crochet Valentine's Day patterns.  The following are some of my favorites broken into three sections: Valentine's Day Crochet Patterns, Heart Crochet Patterns and Love Themed Crochet Patterns.  Enjoy!  


Valentine's Day Crochet Patterns - These patterns are named for the holiday of love, or at least the commercialized holiday that we all celebrate now on February 14th.

However, since they decided to punish articles with high link density, specifically mentioning knitted patterns*, I have decided to move some of my pattern searches here to ChemKnits.  The research gone into producing these lists and comments are100% my own as I was the original author of the Squidoo lens valentines-day-crochet-patterns under the username chemknitsblog.
