1. Crochet Flower Bouquet Ideas
A crochet flower bouquet is a timeless Valentine gift that lasts long after fresh flowers fade. The beauty of this idea is its flexibility — each flower works as a standalone gift, or you can combine several into a full bouquet. Here are 4 different types of flowers with stalks you can try, including a rose, tulip, sunflower and daisy. Add on a flower pot at the bottom for a different type of gift or bundle them all together to make a nice bouquet!
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!
Crochet Daisy Flower
This flower starts off with a magic ring and then the petals extend out as chains around the main circle. The basic crochet stitches involved are single crochet, half double crochet and double crochet stitches. Try variations of colours to make them into different daisy flowers.
Crochet Tulip Flower with Stalk
Try out this beautiful tulip flower, which is made in 3 parts, the middle bud, the external petals and the stalk. All 3 parts are sewn together at the end to get the final tulip flower! The petals are made continuously in one piece, while the stalk and its leaves are also made continuously in another piece. Try out this quick pattern below in different shades of colours for the flower!
Crochet Sunflower with Stalk
This sunflower is made similarly in one continuous round with the petals individually made in each stitch of the round. Some puff stitches are used in the middle of the flower before reaching the outside rim of petals. Change up the shades of yellow for a different look to your sunflower!
Crochet Flower Sack
For all the flower stalks above, this is an accompanying flower sack with a hole in the middle, for the stalk to be inserted in! The size of all the stalks used in all the flower patterns above are uniform, and they specifically fit into the hole for this flower sack. This one works up the fastest as it is mostly a sphere with a ruffled top at the end.
2. Crochet Flower Appliques & Garland
If you’re short on time or yarn, flower appliques make lovely Valentine accents that are quick to crochet and easy to personalize. These small pieces work well on cards, gift wrap, bags, or as lightweight decorations. This idea includes cherry blossom applique, daisy applique, chain flower and bobble flower appliques, as well as a floral garland.
Crochet Spring Flower
This is the easiest flower applique pattern, only making use of basic stitches like single crochet and slip stitch only. The petals are individually made up of chain loops so they work up super fast, like in less than 10 minutes! Here for this loopy design, it is a 6 petal crochet flower pattern.
Crochet Blossom Flower
This is a great flower to start off with, a beginner friendly pattern, here you will learn how to crochet a floral shape with basic stitches like single crochet, double crochet stitches and taller stitches like treble crochet. With some tweaks and a little bit of sewing, you could turn it into a cherry blossom flower too.
Crochet Daisy Flower
This flower starts off with a magic ring and then the petals extend out as chains around the main circle. The basic crochet stitches involved are single crochet, half double crochet and double crochet stitches. Try variations of colours to make them into different daisy flowers.
Crochet Bobble Flower
There’s a very popular puff stitch flower pattern around and I decided to make my very own bobble stitch flower. Also very beginner friendly, here you will learn how to crochet a floral shape with basic stitches like single crochet as well as a special stitch like a bobble stitch!
Crochet Flower and Leaf Garland
This is a more ambitious beginner pattern, where you work crochet flowers and leaves continuously on a chain without any sewing attachment involved. You can double up this crochet project as a garland, bunting or even as a floral necklace! It also makes for a great crochet flower pattern for headband.
3. Kissing Couple Amigurumi on a Bench

4. Mini Heart Accessories (Perfect for Small Valentine Gifts)
Mini heart crochet projects are ideal when you need quick makes or small Valentine add-ons. These can be gifted on their own, added to plush toys, or used as decorations. These ideas includes mini heart amigurumi, pillow, applique, box, cookie, garland and cactus pot.
These are especially useful for classroom exchanges, coworkers, or when you want to make several Valentine gifts in a short amount of time, or even as wedding favours for guests!
Crochet Valentine Heart Applique
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.
Crochet Mini Heart Pillow
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.
Crochet Mini Heart Amigurumi
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!
Crochet Heart Cactus in a Pot
This little heart cactus amigurumi is a fun twist on a classic crochet heart, using simple shaping techniques to create a cute “plant” that never dies. It’s fast to make, uses minimal yarn, and makes the perfect handmade Valentine’s Day gift, desk decoration, or mini amigurumi project for beginners.
Crochet Heart Cookie
This heart cookie is a great Valentine treat that is not too sweet! The icing is crocheted in the round to give it that smooth, puffy finish, while the biscuit layer is worked in rows for a realistic cookie texture. The final piece can be paired with other heart accessories or with a favourite plush animal.
Crochet Valentine Gift Box
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.
Crochet Heart Garland
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.
5. Valentine Animals from the Heart Delivery Squad

Max the dog with a heart cookie
Milo the monkey with a heart cactus in a pot

Lulu the bunny tangled in heart bunting
