Description

Sweet Hearts & Soft Spots for perfect for gifts, everyday use or special occasions. The pattern creates double-layered coasters, hotpads, placemats and decorative accents in three sizes (SML). The bias technique is easy to master, pieces are compact for knitting on the go and finished items are reversible.

Make a matched set or mix it up with varied shapes, colors and designs using partial skeins and scraps. Whatever approach you choose, multicolor versions are a snap: Only one color is worked on a row, there’s no stranding involved and there are no ends to weave.

Written for worsted weight cotton-wool blends, the pattern adapts to different yarn weights and fiber types. It includes tips, tricks and easy modifications plus a handy Quick Reference guide to make customization easy.
