Sherry, from Virginia, emailed me that she had made over 100 of my hearts in VA Tech colors for anyone who wanted them. That's when I realized I had never posted the pattern to my blog.
So here is the pattern for anyone who wants to make them to share with those needing a little love.

I teach teenage boys crochet, and I wanted them to make these hearts. Unfortunately, I forget the pattern, but as I did 16 of them earlier in the day, I went around and verbally taught them. Not all the boys were at the same speed, so I went around 6 boys many times, repeating the stitches they needed to do next. EAch boy produced a heart. It was a great teaching tool, going from chains to trebles, and incorporated all the stitches for them. Thank you for such a great project!

Suzie,
I needed something to tie cellophane bags of valentine candy
closed, and I looked at your heart pin pattern, and a light bulb just
went on in my brain.
I made the heart from you instructions for your heart pin, but
I got creative and converted it into a double heart tie, to tie the
cellophane bag of candies closed. I crocheted the heart, then chained
20, and then crocheted another heart on the other end. The chain in
between is
just long enough to tie the cellophane bag closed and have the 2
hearts hanging down in front. They're adorable. I made 18 of these
bags of candy, with the heart ties, to take to work as valentines
gifts. The heart ties only took me about 5 minutes each to make.
Thank you for sharing your pattern for this heart pin.
