Little Hearts Crochet Stitch | Crochet with Aabhar
Little Hearts is a highly textured crochet stitch with repeating tiny heart-like motifs, separated by alternating rows of half double crochet stitch. You can make it in two colors alternatively or keep the whole pattern in one color.
The pattern repeats over 2 stitches and 2 rows, and it is a slightly complex one as each heart motif is made in a quite different way from usual stitches.
