Make sure you don’t go cold on Valentine’s day (or any other day, for that matter). This little neckwarmer features a row of hearts. It can also be worn as a headband, or made longer for a scarf or sash. Worked in one piece, it is crocheted in rows from one tip to another, so it’s a cinch to adjust the length; just make more pattern repeats.
