I recently knitted a heart shaped coaster on needles and I knew this would be an easy peasy loom project also.

I used two strands of cotton held double and a large gauge loom with at least 24 pegs.

The pattern and video are needle knit so here’s a few changes I made to make it loom friendly:

1) purl the odd rows
2) Instead of using a KFB increase,I simply casted on a new stitch, but that’s a matter of preference.
3) I began and ended the pattern with 5 stitches instead of 7 just so the edges are more rounded. (that’s a problem on needles also). To be clear, that means an added row of purl and row of knit to each side.
4) To make the heart more rounded at the arches I added a row of knit and a row of purl between rows 15 & 16 in the written pattern, and also between rows 31 & 32.
