In a time crunch, but want to make something homemade? Whip up one of these quick crochet Valentine’s Day patterns with yarn from your stash!
We’re finally at that time of year again; Valentine’s Day is here!
I love Valentine’s Day because it celebrates love for everyone, not just for significant others.
In a stressful and chaotic world, it’s nice to have a day all about love and friendship, & in my opinion, handmade is the best way to express love.
Nothing says care like receiving a gift from a friend you know they spent their time on because they love you!
That’s why I’ve rounded up fifteen projects you can make for any of your loved ones this Valentine’s Day, especially if you’re in a time crunch.
Small gifts, big love 🙂
