{After much thought, I have decided to keep up my blog for knitting purposes. Yes, I enjoy posting about knitting projects and sharing in Ginny's wednesday thing, so... once a week? I think I can handle that!}
I found this sweet little pattern which was given as a handout long ago from my friend Julie at her previous knitting shop. Dusted it off just in time to make up a few for the upcoming heart holiday. I'm posting it here for anyone who wants to knit some love. (also made a ravelry link for it)
The Formula:
Cast on 9 stitches
ROWS 1-3: K1, YO, K1 to center stitch. KFBF* of center stitch. K to last stitch. YO, K1.
ROWS 4-15: K to center stitch, KFBF of center stitch, K to end.
ROWS 16-18: K2TOG, K to center stitch, KFBF of center stitch, K2TOG.
ROWS 19-21: K2TOG 2 times, K to center stitch, KFBF of center stitch, K to last 4 sts, K2TOG 2 times.
Weave in ends.
*KFBF = Knit into front, back and front again
You could knit a bunch of these to make a sweet garland, knit a bit looser of a gauge and felt, knit two and stitch together for a tiny pillow, or add a crochet edge for a little more of a fancy look.
make one and give it away to someone you love...
