Crochet Gift Ideas for Valentine’s Day – 40 Free Patterns

Everybody panic!! Valentine’s day is just a couple of weeks away. I’ve rounded up some crochet gift ideas for Valentine’s Day which would make awesome gifts to your partner, your galentine, or yourself.

Each pattern is:

• FREE, because so close to Christmas, this can be an expensive time of year
• EASY, so a motivated beginner could create the pieces – or an experienced crocheter could whip them up in no time
• FAST, because it’s only a couple of weeks until V-Day!

Now, I haven’t separated out this list into “crocheted gift ideas for guys,” and “crocheted gifts for women,” because you know your beau better than I do. All the items in this list are great, and who’s to say that a women can’t enjoy a crocheted cactus? Instead I’ve separated it out into what the patterns are, starting with…

Crocheted Scarfs

What’s lovelier than saying to your honey, “I want you to be warm and snug”? Not much, especially if you enjoy the kind of climate where Feburary is cold, cold, cold! Check out these wearable crochet gift ideas:
