"Sweet On You" Crochet Heart Pendant Free Pattern

One of the things I always look for as a crocheter is that elusive special gift you can crochet up in about an hour, so you can do them for everyone on your list. Here is a sweet little pendant about 2.5 X 2 inches. It's done in single and double crochet primarily with just a couple of treble crochet clusters on the final round.

The sparkle is added by crocheting in 6mm Swarovski crystals as you go along. You could of course use other crystals or beads, whatever you like! It's fun to make this up in different color combinations too.

I've included directions to add an optional jump ring decorated with more crystals (shown here). You could also simply run a silk cord or ribbon through the top openings to hang or wear it.

Happy Valentine's Day and happy crocheting!

Hi, I'm SheilaSchnauzies, also published as SheilaSparkles, and my life's passion is designing in Crochet! I also love to share gifts with friends, and this pattern is my gift to you! I give away about 95% of my pattern designs free. The other 5% are sold on my pattern store at Craftsy.com to benefit the vet expenses of my Miniature Schnauzer Rescue, Sheila's Schnauzies.

Just one little favor, please... I would appreciate it if you do not post this pattern anywhere on the Internet or in the 'real world.' Instead, you are most welcome to provide a link to this webpage.

I use a system I call the "Official Schnauzer Difficulty Rating" just for fun, to rate the difficulty of my patterns. If it's a 3/5 or more, I'll explain why I consider it more difficult. A few of my designs use techniques that are a bit unconventional! If it's one of those patterns, I'll warn you ahead of time. I do a lot of custom-fit patterns, for example. They are made to fit YOU, not a measurement from a chart. They're surprisingly easy to do and actually end up fitting. That's a good thing, yes?

So glad you found my patterns! I hope you really enjoy making whatever it is you're making! Crochet hugs, -Sheila
