\"5-minute<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Valentine’s Day is a few weeks away, so why not start adorning your house (self, bags, books, etc) with hearts? This is a super quick 3 row pattern that you can probably complete in under 5 minutes. String them up garland-style, or add a safety pin to the back and have yourself a brooch. I chain stitched some together to make a vertical garland. Love!<\/p>\n

\n5mm (H) hook<\/p>\n

Abbreviations (U.S. terms)<\/b>
