Why Make Crochet Hearts for Valentine’s Day?

Crochet hearts are small, fast to make, and full of charm. They’re ideal if you want to create something handmade without starting a large project. You can use them as Valentine’s Day decorations, attach them to gifts, or turn them into garlands, keyrings, or appliqués.

Because this pattern only takes a small amount of yarn, it’s also a great way to use up leftovers in red, pink, white, or any colour you like.

Yarn of your choice (leftover Zpagetti works well)
Crochet hook suitable for your yarn
