“Love is being stupid together." - Paul Valery
As we get ready for Valentine's Day, what better way to express love than through the art of crochet? Below, I have gathered 27 Valentine's Day crochet patterns that are fun and cute. From adorable amigurumi to beautiful home decor, I have included a pattern for every skill level.
History of Valentine’s Day
Valentine's Day is a celebration observed on February 14 each year. It is a day dedicated to expressing love and affection between intimate companions. While its historical origins are somewhat obscure, the day is named after St. Valentine. He was a Christian martyr who lived during the Roman Empire.
Â
The most popular legend associated with Valentine's Day is that of St. Valentine. He was a priest who defied Emperor Claudius II's decree that young men should remain unmarried to be better soldiers. St. Valentine continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered, he was executed on February 14.
Â
Over the centuries, Valentine's Day has evolved. Today it is a day for lovers to express their feelings through the exchange of cards, flowers, and gifts. In many cultures, it has become a day to celebrate romantic love, with couples often going on dates or sharing special moments together.
Â
Common symbols associated with Valentine's Day include heart-shaped decorations, Cupid (the Roman god of love), and the colors red and pink. Greeting cards, often known as "valentines," are a popular way for people to convey their love and affection to one another. Additionally, the exchange of flowers, particularly red roses, is a traditional practice.
Â
Valentine's Day is primarily associated with romantic love. However, some people also use the occasion to express love and appreciation for friends and family members. In recent years, there has been a growing trend of celebrating various forms of love and relationships. This often includes self-love and platonic friendships.
