Heart Throb Scarf Free Crochet Pattern for Valentines

Each year, my girls' schools collect hats, mittens and scarves to donate to locals who are in need.  I love the idea and the first year, I let the girls take a couple dozen fun hats I had crocheted or made on the loom.  In 2016, I decided to make scarves for them to take but wanted something fun and different. I wanted something easy to work up, more solid than lacy.  I love texture and wanted something simple yet something that you would make you feel loved wearing it.

I'm happy to introduce the Heart Throb Scarf!  While this scarf is basic heart squares, it is worked all in one sweep without stitching anything together.  It 's a great way to use up scrap yarn if you'd like a colorful rainbow heart scarf or keep it simple with a solid color.  It would be beautiful in a solid cream color!!
