It’s January, time to sit by the fire and knit up some warm hearts for Valentine’s Day. These cute scrubbies knit up super fast, they make great gifts, and they give off a little razzle-dazzle vibe in the kitchen.

I love garter stitch! There are no fancy stitches and no complicated turns (there is an uncomplicated turn). It’s hard to knit up a cute heart, but using this loopy polyester fiber covers up lots of shaping issues.

Knit this holding two strands together - 100% polyester (for the scrubby part) and 100% cotton yarn, sometimes called “kitchen cotton.” The color combos you can use are endless, and the yarn is inexpensive or just use scrap yarn.
