Spring is coming!
I forgot how much I love to crochet these small hearts. They are quick to make up and can be used for so many different things. This day I was in the mood for hair clips. I picked up some simple metal snap hair clips and grabbed some left over yarn in pretty spring time colors. Just like that, I added awesomeness to these boring metal clips!
These little guys are available for sale in the Etsy shop =)
If you’re feeling like trying some of these little hearts out yourself, here is the pattern with original pattern credit going to Skip to my Lou. I have just written it out a little easier for beginners to understand, like meeee. But feel free to head on over and pay her a visit to thank her for it!
