I♥U - what better way to write it than to make it? - In crochet.

My letters are completely 3D and the covers are crocheted as a simple spiral of DK (UK version) crochet - they are also stiffened with a felt inner - this is optional as stated in the pattern but highly recommended!

I’ve knitted mine in Garn Studios Drops Super Chunky Alaska yarn giving me an average letter that measures approx. 32cm/ 12.5inches tall but again the choice, of yarn and weight, is yours!

The scope for creativity with these is endless as they create wonderful installations around the house
