It’s kind of funny to me that I can come up with different things to share for Valentine’s Day every year, but here we are with another roundup of Valentine’s Day knitting patterns. (For some old ones, check out hats with hearts, quick Valentine’s Day projects and more projects with hearts.)
This little heart garland from Little Red Window caught my eye this time. My daughter has a garland of felt hearts that’s been hanging in her bedroom for years, but this is a super cute handmade option. It calls for worsted weight yarn and is actually knit in one piece so you don’t have to sew all the hearts together.
Cables are a fun way to make hearts, and you can practice your cable knitting with this cute washcloth pattern from Oh La Lana Designs. There are actually two versions of the pattern, one with a single cable panel up the middle and one with two panels as shown.
Or how about a heart shaped washcloth or dishcloth? The Practical Little House by Heidi Kirrmaier (free download on Ravelry) uses worsted weight cotton and is worked from the bottom up until you have a square, then you pick up stitches for the curved bits.
If you’ve got a baby in your life you want to knit a special sweater for, check out the Valentine Baby Cardigan from Love Life Yarn. This project uses worsted weight yarn and comes in three sizes for babies up to 18 months. It’s worked flat in pieces and seamed, with the heart worked in intarsia. The front zips and it includes a hood.
Caitlin Hunter’s Cold Hearts Cowl has flowers that look like hearts and is a pretty easy two color cowl knitting pattern. Worked in the round in heavy DK or worsted yarn, it’s a pretty quick project that’s perfect for practicing stranded knitting. Grab the pattern on Ravelry.
