Knit flat with garter and stockinette stitches, this is a reversible heart motif centered in a 6” square for worsted to aran weight yarns. It is shown knit on size #8 needles with Peace Fleece Worsted yarn.

Denoting friendship, comfort and love, it will make an excellent block component for an adventurous beginner knitter to contribute to a group project. This block was inspired by a dear friend for whom my knit group made a comforting blanket in several colors.

Peace Fleece is an ideal yarn for this project and one skein will make 5, possibly 6 squares, depending on your knitting tension. Peace Fleece has a rustic look and feel and when washed becomes beautifully soft.

The pattern includes yarn requirements for different sizes of afghans and blankets.

You may freely use my pattern, however, please do not sell items made from it. Gift them instead!
