Little strings of hearts dance across the body of this design to create a sense of whimsy and magic. I used only three colors for this pattern, but you could totally knit up a scrappy version with a black background, for example, and then use two different colors for each of the heartstrings! This is a design that will keep enticing you to knit it again to see what color combo you’ll come up with next.
