Free Crochet Heart Applique Pattern
This is the most basic way to crochet a heart and it does not involve crocheting in rounds so there is no magic ring involved. This heart is crocheted in rows back and forth, with increases and decreases at the ends to shape the heart. To do the opposite side, there is some surface crocheting involved as well.
Free Crochet Mini Heart Pillow Pattern
To convert from a 2D appliqué to a 3D mini pillow, try out this pattern. It involves making 2 separate flat heart pieces and then crochet the edges together, add stuffing then seal it up. Simple and quick, easy to whip up for Valentine’s Day and you can attach it to a small card with a message inside.
Free Crochet Heart Box Pattern
From the basic heart appliqué pattern above, continue crocheting in a round until you get a considerable height. Then repeat the process with a slightly bigger heart to make as the lid. Then finally add in the colour changes and a ribbon right at the end. This is great as a mini gift box to house a pair of earrings or small jewellery. Or you could size it up and make a bigger version to contain a larger present.
Free Crochet Heart Amigurumi Pattern
This crochet heart amigurumi pattern, unlike the heart pillow pattern above, involves crocheting in a round right from the beginning. That means that this heart crochet pattern does include a magic ring right at the start and by using some branching techniques, it looks very different at the end! So you could say this is a magic circle crochet heart, as compared to the heart made with rows above!
Free Crochet Heart Garland Pattern
To make this heart garland pattern, the techniques involved in making the heart continuously is on the chain, without any external sewing at all. Just change up the colours for variety on the garland or bunting. The techniques involved are also totally different from the other heart patterns.
Just like the heart patterns, floral crochet patterns are so versatile, great to pair up with hearts as well and very apt for spring occasions.

To make it appearance more 3D, the same pattern is used in the round but alternating between front and back loops in 2 rounds. Then finish it up and sew on the stalk right at the end to the daisy flower. See more about making this daisy flower over here.
Free Crochet Rose Flower with Stalk
This rose flower is the easiest and fastest to work up as the petals are made in one continuous piece with multiple rows and twirled together to create the rose effect at the end. Sew the stalk together to the rose petals at the end for the final look. Try making this rose in multiple shades of red, pink or even white! See below about making this crochet rose, along with an accompanying video.

A crochet subscription box is a recurring package (monthly or bi-monthly) that delivers crochet-related items directly to your doorstep. Depending on the box, you may receive:
✔ High-quality yarn ✔ Exclusive crochet patterns ✔ Crochet hooks & accessories ✔ Fun extras like stitch markers, tote bags, or themed gifts
Subscription boxes are a great way to explore new fibres, try fresh crochet patterns, and keep your crochet projects exciting without the hassle of shopping for materials yourself.
A crochet subscription box is perfect for crocheters of all levels. Here’s why:
✔ Convenience – No need to hunt for patterns or matching yarns. Everything arrives ready to use. ✔ Discovery – Try out new yarn brands, patterns, and techniques. Possibly my favourite part! ✔ Inspiration – Never run out of creative ideas for your next project. ✔ Gifting – A great surprise gift for crochet lovers. ✔ Skill Growth – Challenge yourself with curated projects suitable for different experience levels.
Not all crochet boxes are the same! Here are the main types:
1. Yarn-Only Boxes
Perfect for yarn lovers looking to build their stash. These are great for not only crocheters, but knitters and crafters who use yarn as well!
2. Pattern + Yarn Kits
Includes yarn plus exclusive patterns. Ideal for those who enjoy structured projects but already own crochet hooks and accessories.
3. Complete Project Kits
Comes with everything needed for a finished project, including yarn, hooks, and notions. Great for those who want a fully curated experience.
4. Themed & Seasonal Boxes
Special edition boxes featuring curated projects for holidays or seasonal themes. Includes festive patterns and colour-coordinated yarn.
The cost of a crochet subscription box varies based on the contents, brand, and shipping location. Here’s a general breakdown:
✔ Budget-Friendly: $10 – $25 per month (basic yarn subscriptions, small projects) ✔ Mid-Range: $25 – $40 per month (full project kits with premium yarns) ✔ Luxury: $40+ per month (hand-dyed yarns, specialty fibers, exclusive designer patterns)
Additional shipping costs may apply, especially for international deliveries.
The ones I listed below here are mostly mid-range crochet subscription boxes, read on below to see all of them.
Before subscribing, consider these key factors:
✔ Type of box – Do you prefer yarn-only, pattern kits, or full project kits? ✔ Investment level – Are you looking for budget-friendly or luxury pricing? ✔ Shipping costs – Check if they ship to your country and the rates. ✔ Delivery frequency – Monthly or bi-monthly? Some offer flexible plans. ✔ Company reputation – Choose established brands for reliability. ✔ Skill level – Are the projects beginner-friendly or more advanced? ✔ Project types – Do you enjoy wearables, home décor, or amigurumi? ✔ Personal values – Does sustainability, indie brands, or luxury yarn matter to you?
For each of the Crochet Subscription Box examples below, I talk about each point in further detail so it is easier for you to make your own assessment.

Pros
✅ Well-curated selection of materials. ✅ High-quality yarn and accessories. ✅ Great for inspiration—try new patterns and yarns that aren’t easily accessible.
Cons
❌ Price may be a concern for some, but I personally think it’s great value for money. (If you have bought luxury merino wool before you know that one hank can be $30.) ❌ Not ideal for crocheters who prefer choosing their own yarn and projects (e.g., designers).
Bonus: The Knitting Box
Even though I don’t knit, the knitting version of this box really caught my attention! The quality and design make me tempted to pick up knitting someday — maybe this box will be the push I need!
