There are a multitude of uses for sweet little hearts !
Use them to decorate your projects - blankets, bags, etc
or perhaps for St. Valentine’s Day items.

3 sizes ~ 3 1/2 “, 4 1/2”, 5 1/2”

Requires ~ DK yarn, 4mm needles

If knitted in pairs, this pattern can also be used for preemie bonding ‘squares’ :)
One is placed with a premature baby …. and another is worn against the mum’s skin, then they are swapped round every 12 hours or every time mum visits.
Many Neonatal Units are now using them. They help with the bonding of a premature baby in an incubator and the baby’s mum. The baby can smell mum’s scent even when she isn’t there or wasn’t able to get him out of his incubator, and then when she goes home she can still smell the baby’s scent on the ‘square’, which is a big comfort.
