-Cupid Valentine can come taller or smaller but still a lot of fun to knit and to become friends with.

The pattern is easy to follow with step-by-step detailed instructions accompanied by plenty of photos. (It is 48 pages long with 188 photos illustrating the process) . All pattern rows are numbered.

This pattern assumes you know how to knit in the round (using your favorite method, be it DPN, two circulars or magic loop), purl, increase (kfb), decrease (k2tog ), and long tail cast on. I used acrylic yarn but you could use any yarn, just upsize (or downsize, if you’re a masochist) the needles appropriately.
