This is a pattern for a "conversation hearts" scarf. It's really pretty basic. You're going to make a whole ton of heart motifs, then join them all together. This could also be adapted to turn this into a blanket.
Worsted Weight Yarn in candy heart colors. The scarf pictured uses 5 different colors–white, purple, pale yellow, pink, and green. One skein of each. The example uses a "light" worsted acrylic.
Size F/4.00mm crochet hook
Yarn or tapestry needle
One heart motif measures 4" (10.2cm) across. Finished scarf is approximately 51" (128cm) long.
One heart motif measures 4 inches (10.2cm) at the widest point.
To help in thinking about this as you construct the hearts, the hearts are a three round granny square. One corner of the square is used as the point of the heart. The heart’s “bumps” are placed on two of the sides.
When I constructed the example, I made 10 hearts in each of 5 different colors. I ended up with two left over. I still think this is easier than telling you to make 9 of two colors and 10 of three, because assembly can be confusing.
Good luck!

Assembly
To assemble the scarf, sew four hearts together into a square, like this:
VV

Sew one more heart into the center, covering the hole between the hearts. Arrange the hearts at random or by formula.
Enjoy!
