Crochet Heart Garland Tutorial


Crochet hearts-4172-2

Here is the crochet heart garland tutorial you guys have been clamoring for ever since I shared the crochet star tute. I love these sweet little mini hearts. I’ve hooked them up in a miniature size here, but you can vary that however you want. Simply follow the same pattern and increase the hook and yarn to blow these hearts up to your match your fancy.
