Hello guys!
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and I want to share with you a super easy and simple crochet pattern to make some cute heart appliques!






These are so adorable and super quick and easy to make! Each one took me an approximate of 10 minutes to crochet from beginning to end. And you can give them a ton of different uses! For example, you can:
- Add them to a love letter for your significant other
- Sew them to an amigurumi bear’s tummy
- Paste them to a gift box
- Add them to a scarf or hat
- Paste them to a bookmark
- Make magnets with them and gift to your friends
