From the Heart

Unlock your creativity with these charming heart designs--Bubbling Bobbles, Loving Knots, Simply Sweet, and Squarely Perfect. These delightful patterns can be combined in endlessly creative ways to enhance your knitting projects. Stitch together nine squares for a cozy 16 x 16 inch throw pillow that will brighten any space. Want to make something even bigger? Add more squares for a beautiful blanket or a striking wall hanging. For a fun and unique twist, join two single squares back to back, stuff them with fiber filling, and transform them into a toss toy. Alternatively, create a fragrant sachet by adding your favorite herbal mix before sealing it up. The versatility of these heart patterns means you can experiment with different yarn colors, weights, and needle sizes to achieve various looks and sizes.

Each finished square measures 5.25 inches x 5.25 inches, making them perfectly sized for a variety of projects. The pattern calls for straight needles (U.S. no. 7) and a tapestry needle for easy stitching. Additionally, a stitch holder is required for the heart-shaped backing, and don’t forget the fiber filling if you plan to make a toss toy or scented sachet!

We recommend using 100% cotton yarn, specifically worsted weight, though other suitable yarns can work well too. Please note that the yardage provided is for each square; additional yarn will be necessary for stitching up your pieces and adding creative embroidery work. Dive into the joyful world of knitting with these heart designs, and let your imagination flourish!
