Luscious Lips Crochet Pattern
Okay, so I ran across this on Pinterest and thought I'd make one for this blog post instead of another heart. I know hearts scream VALENTINE'S DAY but there are soooo maannyy hearts out there. Now bear in mind this is not my original pattern. If you have Pinterest and can see that link you'll immediately notice that it's in Russian or Korean (or something ... I know someone that can read that is laughing at me ^_^). And while I don't read any language other than English I can (on a good day) understand charts.
This is my interpretation of the chart available here.
