Simple Valentine Heart Ornament Applique

This is a crochet pattern for my Valentine Heart Ornament. Great for use as an ornament or applique. It's simple, easy to follow original instructions appropriate for even beginners of crochet, written in English using American crochet terminology. I wrote this pattern after not being able to find an existing pattern that gave me a clean center point with even sides. I know you'll love it!

As pictured, the final heart measures 3" across. Or, make just the center for a smaller heart!
