That adorable heart jewelry set in the photo is basically the cutest way to say “I made this for you” without saying a word. The red and pink hearts on silver chain are perfect for Valentine’s, anniversaries, or just because — and the best part? You can crochet the whole set in one relaxed evening.
Why Heart Jewelry Is the Best Handmade Gift
Hearts are universally loved, and this set turns that into wearable art. The necklace, bracelet, and earrings all match, so it feels complete and thoughtful. People treasure handmade jewelry more than any store-bought version.
I made one for my mom last year and she still wears it daily. The tiny details — the way the hearts catch the light — make it feel special. You’ll get the same reaction when you gift yours.
Materials You’ll Need
Keep it simple and sweet.
- Lightweight yarn (cotton or cotton blend in red and pink) — about 100-150 yards total
- Silver or gold chain (about 20-24 inches) — small amount
- Earring hooks or ear wires
- 3.5 mm or 4 mm crochet hook
- Yarn needle, scissors, and stitch markers
- Optional: clear glue or sewing thread for finishing
Cotton gives the hearts nice structure so they look plump and cute. FYI, I used a soft cotton and the hearts held their shape perfectly.
Crocheting the Heart Pendant
This is the main piece that everything hangs from.
Start with red yarn and make a small round. Increase in each stitch to form a heart shape. The secret is working in the back loops only for the first few rows so the heart stays flat and defined.
When the heart is about 2 inches tall, you’re ready to attach the chain. Weave the chain through the top loop and secure it with a few backstitches.
Making the Matching Pink Heart
Pink is the perfect accent color. Make one larger than the red one so it sits nicely on the chain.
Work the same heart shape in pink yarn. Add a tiny white stitch or French knot in the center for extra charm if you want. The contrast between red and pink is what makes this set look so sweet.
Adding the Earrings and Finishing Touches
Earrings are quick — just crochet tiny hearts and attach ear wires. The chain length makes the necklace look balanced when worn.
Weave in all ends securely. The set is ready to gift or wear. I made mine in my favorite red and pink and it’s now my go-to for Valentine’s and birthdays.
