Hearts Alive is a super quick and cozy cowl pattern that features a simple Heart Cable pattern. It’s knit using 4 strands of a light fingering weight yarn which makes it extra dense and perfect to combat those February winds. The project begins with an I-Cord Cast-on, the cable pattern is then worked in-the-round for a few repeats and then an I-Cord Bind-Off is used to give it a clean edge. Instructions are included for both the I-Cord Cast-On and Bind-Off, so don’t worry if you haven’t tried these techniques yet.

There are 4 size options and all sizes do require 2 skeins of yarn.

The guage swatch that I made was 20 sts x 30 rows for a 5” square. (That way you can do an entire repeat of the Heart Cable Pattern.)
