Love is in the air!
I’m not really a huge fan of celebrating days such as Valentines day (I don’t need a special day to tell my loved ones I love them – we should be doing that everyday!)
However, I do love to crochet, and crochet hearts are super cute – and very easy to make! And I am definitely a huge fan of quick, simple and easy makes that also look great!
If you are looking for a super simple, small, quick and easy crochet heart pattern, then look no further!
This heart pattern is made up of basic crochet stitches worked in the round (so you just keep working around – you don’t turn the work)
