Here’s a fun little pattern for heart embellishments. Appliqué them on other knitted garments, or make a bunch and make them into a garland. The stockinette stitch hearts would make a lovely background for embroidered messages!

Gauge is not important here. I made hearts with worsted and DK yarns, using 5mm needles with worsted (18 sts / 4″) and 4mm needles with DK (24 sts / 4″). With that gauge, the small DK hearts measure 3.4″ across, and the large worsted hearts measure 4.5″ across.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
