Yesterday I attended an Open House for instructors at my local Joann Fabrics and Crafts Store.
I realized late the night before that it would be a good idea to wear a knitted heart, since Valentine’s Day is only a few days away. Don’t you think it’s a good idea for the knitting instructor to be showing Valentine crafts at the February Open House?
I could not find the one I made a couple of years ago. 
No problem!
I got out the pattern I created a couple of years ago and tweaked it. With only a few yards of yarn, I knit a heart in about 30 minutes. Rather than attaching it with a safety pin, the pin from a shawl pin looked intriguing.
And it worked fine!
Sometimes it’s nice to have a pattern you can knit up quickly and easily. And a small knitted heart is great fun for Valentine’s Day! Or any day in February since February is Heart Month!
If you’d like the pattern, just leave a comment on this post. You need to make the comment on the original post on The KnittingYarn to get your pattern. Click here right now to go to the original post and leave your comment.

Great!
Hi Ina!
My daughter would love the heart. I may just take up knitting for the fun of it.
In the meantime, she has a friend who loves to knit. Youngsters seem to be rekindling a love of knitting these days. It’s great!
Many blessings,
Carrie

I tried to knit a blanket for my granddaughter, but I want to knit a heart to sew on in the middle of the blanket. Please send me your free instructions to knit the heart. I don’t need it to be double-sided.
Thank you. Rachel
Looks like fun! I am new to knitting and looking for small projects to practice with! This is perfect. Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure! Welcome and thanks for your comment.
Would love to make this for Mother’s day!
