Heart Granny Square Crochet Pattern

I love granny squares and can’t seem to stay away from them for very long. There is something about the timeless and classic square that just draws me in. I thought it would be fun to have a heart granny square crochet pattern to include in some of my Valentine’s crafts. I worked up a bunch and finally got it the way I like. And of course I wanted to share it with you all …
