I made these for Christmas... but surely they are good for a Happy Valley Day too?!
You will need :
Yarn : red or pink or something loved-up one skein of each is fine - regular old 8ply or 4ply or whatever you can find!
Crochet Hook : I used a 3.5mm hook - you can use up to a 5mm hook, I think!
Chenille Needle : or other big, fat needle to sew in stray ends
Scissors

Slip Stitch into first chain stitch (which is now large-ish hole in the centre of your heart.)
Pull your yarn nice and tight to finish the heart.Continue on chaining up 25 to form the loop/hanger.
Slip stitch into the second of these 25 to close the loop!
Fasten off and sew in ends.
