ReplyDeleteThank you all for the compliments!
ReplyDelete@Stocki~ I know exactly what you mean about shape and I can't even begin to tell you how many of these buggers I made trying to get the shape just right;)
@ Olga~ Thank you so much! I'll go take a look at it right now:)
Those are the prefect heart shape! So many knitted hearts are a little wonky. I love yours. I haven't been knitting much lately but this quick project might be the think to get my knitting mojo back.
ReplyDeleteI also just posted a valentines tutorial on my blog too but mine's handmade paper. :)
Just made a sweet little card for valentine's day for my family featuring one of these cuties. Thanks for the idea and the patter.

These look so perfect, definitely the best looking knitted hearts I've come across but when I attempt them I get an uneven pulling to one side in my finished lob-sided heart. Also, the ssk and the k2t seem to leave a ribbed effect which is different on both sides, and not present on your perfect ones. Any tips?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ryan
Thanks, Ryan. For the lob sidedness, I made one like this too and when I ripped it back, I noticed that I didn't decrease evenly:) If that's not it, I always slip my stitches purlwise, so I tried making one slipping them knitwise and that didn't seem to change anything for me. When knitting garter stitch, I do tend to have a tighter gauge on one end vs the other, so maybe that's an issue.
ReplyDeleteFor the ribbed effect, I definitely have an "ugly" side, but I didn't notice a change with this either when I used the different slip technique.
I'd love to hear how it goes or if anyone else has any thoughts:)
Thank you for sharing these!!
ReplyDeleteI am just learning to knit and this is the first pattern I have ever used. It was so easy to follow and the little heart is very cute, I'm proud of my first proper project. Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. I will be making several to put on prayer shawls.
ReplyDeleteThose fabric hearts are so pretty. I can't wait to try myself and make them.
ReplyDeleteim very much a begginer and knittin patterns i find are quite hard to understand when your still learning. this is the best and easyest pattern ive found after hours of searching the net. thank u so much, cant wait to have a go!
ReplyDeleteI love that so much ... and I'm in love with your blog. So glad I found you!

ReplyDeleteThank you so very much for this really cute design. My daughters Camp Fire Boys and Girls club made paper valentines for the local Detroit VA hospital this year. They also delivered them to these injured veterans at the hospital. As their patch for their vests they each be receiving one of these knitted hearts for their contribution to the Valentines for Vets project at a special ceremony taking place this summer. Thank you for your design.
ReplyDeleteI'm having a little trouble darning in the ends, especially to create the central depression of the heart. I was wondering if I could get some advice
ReplyDeleteI've already made two of these. All my friends are in danger of being flooded with hearts...
