Valentines Day Garland and Giveaway
I’m not usually a heart person, but when I came across this pattern for tiny crocheted hearts, I must admit, I took a liking to them. In fact I thought they would make wonderful little garlands, so I made several.
One of my favourite things about these little hearts is that you use embroidery floss, so you can pick out quite a few colours without having to have skeins and skeins of yarn. The hearts are quick and easy, but quite addictive so if you need a few decorations around the house you should definitely have a go. The hearts themselves would make adorable brooches, hair pins, package or card decorations or just a few in a small bowl to look pretty.
You can go traditional with all red hearts, or slightly different but still feminine with raspberry, sage and cornflower (I had a difficult time photographing these colours, they are not quite as bright in real life) coloured ones. You can even go super trendy with charcoal turquoise and mustard.
These hearts are quite tiny, but very adorable and each garland I made was approx. 38 inches from heart to heart with a little extra on the ends to tie however you want. If you’d like a chance to win the garland of your choice, just leave a comment and let me know which is your favourite colourway. I will close the comments at 12 noon MST on Thursday Feb. 3rd and announce the winner shortly thereafter. Edited to add: I will ship to wherever you are, so go on, throw your name in the hat. Please don’t forget to let me know which garland would be your choice.
Thesee are so sweet! My favourite is the super trendy turquoise & mustard, I think… but they’re all lovely!
Adorable, I like the all red one the most I think x
They are so pretty, what a lovely idea. I think the traditional red is my favourite.
Ooh Jennifer, I’m so glad you’re doing a giveaway! I’ve been seeing these around the web and have so been wanting one! I love the all red:)
The red is stunning(even if the giveaway is only open to locals!)!!

Oh they’re gorgeous! Sadly I’ve had to give up on crochet–I’m just completely hopeless. So will keep fingers crossed for a red one!

I love the red one. What a simple, beautiful idea. And how generous of you to share your talent.
I love these! Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays, I may need to make these for the kids rooms. Thanks for the idea.
Hello from Hawaii! I am a new fan of your blog, and it’s inspiring and peaceful energy. I think the raspberry, sage and cornflower garland is my favorite. Thanks for a fun contest!

Oh Jennifer, how gorgeous! I was just looking at them, thinking ‘Ohh I should make some for the salon’ and there it was!!! Your give away!!! Please can I enter? Lots of love, Amanda xxx
These are so cute, lovely to hang up all year round not just for Valentines. I think the raspberry, sage and cornflower is my favourite, thank you for the giveaway.
These are so pretty! I love the all-red one the most! You inspire me!
Oh these are so wonderful. I love the raspberry, sage and cornflower. My three favorite colors and the color scheme of my entire house. I have seen these little hearts all over and only wished I could crochet. How lovely it would be to have such a sweet garland grace our home.
Blessings, Elizabeth
Hello! Just found your blog this morning and I love it! Your garlands are lovely! I have some fabric hearts hanging on my arch between my rooms, but a crocheted garland would look adorable on my hutch! If chosen, any one would be wonderful! Have a lovely day!
How adorable! Love those red hearts! Please enter me in your giveaway! Thanks and what fun! ♥
Oh they are so pretty! I’d love the red ones!
How gorgeous! I think all your colour combinations are lovely, I would be over the moon to win any of them….and you know how much I love hearts! 😀
Lovely, lovely colors. Simply can’t choose, but I love all things “heart”. Thank you for such a fun give-away.
These are just too adorable. I can’t crochet, so would love to win one!
Thanks for stopping by at Mama Chalk…I’m really excited to have a look around The Prairie Girl’s homestead. 🙂
All of them are beautiful, but my favorite was the multicolored with the red, sage, and corn flower colored hearts! Thanks for this giveaway! Maria Weinert
see… it is times like this I wish I crochet’d instead of knit ( I am a favorite of all of them… but the red would go well in my kitchen- that is where the heart of family is!)
what a lovely idea thanks for the pattern link i would be very pleased to win any colour they are all lovely
Hi Jennifer,
The hearts are just so adorable! I made some multi-coloured ones a while back and havn’t done anything with them. I think I may just put them onto a string and make a garland, they look so cheery!
The piece of music was called ‘Flow Like Water’ and it was from the film ‘The Last Airbender’. The bears watched it and I walked in the room and this piece was playing and I just loved it! he he!
Happy days to you!

It looks like I’m just in the nick of time! You find the cutest patterns. I love the raspberry, etc one!
