These little crochet hearts are perfect for Valentine's Day.  There are so many options and ideas for these!  While they look lovely in traditional pinks and reds, this is another great project to use up your scrap yarn.  You could use them to make a garland, coasters, embellishments for hats, scarves, headbands, home decor such as cushions, double them up and make a small pouch, and more!  I especially love the overlay and how the background color peaks through.  The pattern is written very nicely and not only includes a photo tutorial, but a diagram as well.
