Crochet Heart Pattern

There might some other crochet heart pattern out there, but we prefer this delicate and "lacy" version.

This crochet heart pattern is much more reminiscent of the old-fashion style crochet. Which makes it the perfect choice for decorating and enhancing other craft projects.

If you're hoping for a really classic looking crochet heart pattern, this is definitely the one!
