10. and 11. Heart Edgings: Free Crochet Patterns
Crochet Heart Edgings — Free Patterns
There are bunches of different ways you could crochet an edging with heart shapes. If that’s what you want to do, I have a free chart you can use. There are zillions of possible ways to interpret the chart, but pictured here, you can see two possibilities. One is a simple, one-color filet crochet interpretation; the other is a two-color version where the heart is cross stitched onto the background of the edging.
The chart works best for crocheting straight edges — for example, if you need an edging to use across the top of a bed sheet, that’s the ideal use case for the filet crochet version of the heart edging, because I didn’t work out a corner for it. You can click or tap here if you want to check out the free pattern.

You can embellish it with ribbons, buttons, jewels, bits of lace or just about any other pretty doodad you might have hanging around in your craft supply stash.
