Even Larger Hearts:

One way to upscale your hearts is by using larger yarn, like chunky or bulky yarn with a larger crochet hook, size N or larger.
Another is by adding lager stitches at the middle section of your heart. After your dtr (double treble crochet), do a triple treble by doing another yarn over prior to entering the magic loop. You’ll also need to add ch stitches prior to slst 1 and afterward as well to match the stitches height. You can keep adding larger stitches if necessary, there’s a limit I’m sure, but I haven’t dared try for fear that the crochet gods might smite me.

Even Smaller Hearts:

To shrink your heart down the best way is by using smaller yarn or even thread. This mini one I made that would be perfect for earrings was made using embroidery thread and a size 1.5mm crochet hook. You can even go smaller using regular thread and an even smaller hook!
