This My Sweetheart scarf is easy to make but this is one I'm not going to wear because it's too thin, the color I don't like, and it's too short.

First off, let me thank Janaya profusely for the outstanding photo tutorial that goes along with this project. There have been many times Ive passed on interesting projects posted on here because of the complete lack of photos. That said, I agree with arodriguez 5298921 that the heart pattern is very subtle. If you worked it in other colors, you wouldnt be limiting it to Valentines Day.

So pretty! I think the hearts are subtle enough that you could wear this even before and after Valentine's Day. I want to make one for my girlfriends!
