Snail heart amigurumi

Transform your Valentine's Day table with an adorable and charming knitted heart decoration! This easy knitting pattern is perfect for those looking to add a personal touch to their holiday decor. The large heart measures approximately 11 cm by 9 cm, while the delightful snail adds a whimsical touch at 13 cm by 13 cm. Knitted in the round, this pattern is particularly recommended for advanced beginner knitters who are ready to tackle their next project with a bit of experience.

To get started, gather your materials: you'll need four double-pointed needles in a size suitable for the yarn weight you are using. For best results, I recommend opting for needles that are one or two sizes smaller than what the yarn package suggests, ensuring a firm and durable fabric. In this case, I used size 2 (3mm) needles along with beautiful red and green yarn from Kartopu's "Flora" collection—each skein contains 100g and a generous 230m of soft, high-quality acrylic yarn.

Additionally, you will require toy stuffing, a yarn needle for finishing touches, a stitch holder, and three decorative buttons to give your knitted hearts that special flair. This pattern is not only a lovely addition to your Valentine's decor but also makes for a thoughtful handmade gift for your loved ones. Get your needles ready and let your creativity shine with this delightful Valentine's Day knitting pattern!
