With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I thought I'd get into the lovey-dovey mood and make a cute little crochet heart pattern.

Of course, this crochet heart doesn’t have to be limited to Valentine’s day. You could make this in a rainbow of colors for Pride month or other events centered around love, friendship, family, and community.
