Knitting Patterns – Knit a Little Heart For Valentine’s Day

January 25, by Sarah White. 4 Comments

I got a little distracted by all the stash busting and just realized I haven’t really shared any Valentine’s Day projects with you yet this year. Never fear, there’s still plenty of time to knit a token of love, and I’ll be sharing a bunch in the coming days.

To start I thought I’d focus on heart shapes that might not be useful for much other than decorating a package or being adorable. Still, there’s something irresistible about knitting the heart shape; I kind of want to make a whole garland of them! That will have to wait until next year, probably.

I’ve knit a lot of hearts in my day, I must say. I started with the Knit Heart, which is my go-to, thanks-for-being-a-great-person gift. I can knit one in about an hour and they’re always well received. The small knit heart is the one I would use for a garland.

I recently made this knit fabric heart, which I really love because it’s kind of clever. If you’ve ever used any of those novelty fabric yarns you know they’re pretty floppy and don’t really have any structure. Well I figured out a way to work it with a base yarn so that you could give it some shape — in this case, a heart shape. It was really fun and a quick project, too, which I always like.

The most useful of this bunch is the heart-shaped washcloth. This one is by Nicky Green, but there are any number of similar patterns.

Are you looking for a unique and special way to show your love this Valentine’s Day? Knitting a beautiful handmade gift for your special someone could be just the thing to make the day extra special! Knitting is an incredibly rewarding and cost-effective way to create a special piece of art that will last for years to come. With a variety of Valentine’s Day knitting patterns to choose from, you can create a one-of-a-kind gift that your special someone will cherish forever.

Knitting is a wonderful way to express your love and show your appreciation for someone special. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced knitter, there is sure to be a pattern that is perfect for your skill level. Start with a simple heart pattern and work your way up to something more complicated like a lace pattern or a complex cable pattern. With so many patterns available, you can create anything from a cozy scarf or a pair of mittens to a beautiful sweater or a hat.

There are so many ways to make a unique and meaningful Valentine’s Day gift using knitting patterns. Create a scarf with a message of love on it, knit a pair of mittens with hearts on them, or even design a special pillow with a heart pattern. No matter what you create, your special someone will be sure to appreciate the thought and effort you put into creating their one-of-a-kind gift.

Knitting can be a very calming and relaxing activity, and it’s a great opportunity to show your creative side. With the right pattern, you can create something that is truly special and meaningful. So this Valentine’s Day, take the time to show your love with a handmade gift. With so many Valentine’s Day knitting patterns to choose from, you are sure to find the perfect one for your special someone.

 

Michele Wilcox form Red Heart UK has some cute heart-shaped pillows worked in eyelash yarn that would be great for a teenage girl’s room.

The little hearts from Mochimochi Land are irresistible with their little eyes, while the stash-busting hearts from Natural Suburbia would be another great choice for a gift tag or a garland. And Joanna Alport’s Heart of Many Uses could be stuffed with lavender and tucked in a drawer or filled with rice for a hand warmer.

Have you ever knit any hearts? I’d love to know what you used them for.

    I haven’t done hearts but they’d be great for adding embellishments on kids scarves.

    I have made hundreds of the Mochimochi hearts. I adapted the pattern to knitting in the round, and have made garlands, and Valentine gifts for my niece’s class a few years. I also like to give them as little ‘get well’ or ‘I’m sorry you’re going through a tough time’ gifts. I’ve also left them in random spots like libraries, waiting rooms and bookstores.
