Valentine’s Day is still a long way away but I thought I’d better start early. We’re expecting visitors in February so it’ll probably be too busy and hectic to think about Valentine’s Day greetings.

And although Valentine’s Day is often associated with the celebration of intimate love, I have been thinking of it more in terms of love for family. With this in mind, I made these crochet hearts to decorate the house and to give away with gifts for family on Valentine’s Day. This afternoon I wrote the pattern and here it is.

Saint Valentine’s Heart Crochet Pattern

This is a quick project for Valentine’s Day – a crochet heart with lacy edging. Use it as décor, tied together like buntings or hanging from lamps and lighting fixtures, fix it on the wall or doors of your home. You can also paste these hearts onto Valentine’s Day greetings for your sweetheart, and also as appliqué for garments and curtains.
