What little girl doesn’t like pretty things in her hair. I know our little girls sure do! And these crochet heart Bobby pins look adorable. ♥
Quick and easy little crochet hearts can be added to many crafts and are especially cute on bobby pins for adorable hair accessories for girls.
So when I saw these cute hair pins, I gathered snippets of yarn and my crochet hook to make a bunch.
A piece of card stock with little holes punched into it worked as the card for the bobby pins.
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
Crochet Heart Bobby Pins
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.

Making heart pins for my grandson's pre-school class. Figure the boys can give to their moms or grandmas if they don't want to wear them.
Found your post on Pinterest!! Thanks for sharing and can't wait to try!!

These bobby pins are so lovely. Wonderful gift idea!
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!
