A Little Knitted Heart Motif
Equipment:
Small amounts of DK wool in chosen colour
2.75mm knitting needles (UK12, US2)
Stitch holder
Needles
Cotton (in matching colour)
Beads or other decoration
Method
Cast on 1 stitch in chosen wool
Rows 1-15:
Row 1 and all odd-number rows: purl to end
Row 2: Make a stitch by knitting into the front and back of the stitch (kfb) (2 stitches)
Row 4: kfb, k1 (3 stitches)
Row 6: kfb, k1, kfb (5 stitches)
Row 8: kfb, k3, kfb (7 stitches)
Row 10: kfb, k5, kfb (9 stitches)
Row 12: kfb, k7, kfb (11 stitches)
Row 14: kfb, k9, kfb (13 stitches)
Rows 16-end:
Row 16: k1, k2tog, k2tog, k1 (4 stitches on the right needle. Put the remaining stitches on the stitch holder and continue knitting with the stitches on the right needle only)
Row 17: purl to end
Row 18: k1, k2tog, k1 (3 stitches)
Row 19: purl to end
Row 20: knit to end (3 stitches)
Thread yarn through remaining stitches and bind off, taking care not to distort the shape.
Take the remaining stiches off the stitch holder and put back onto the needle.
Row 21: cast off one stitch, k2tog, k2tog, k1 (4 stitches)
Repeat rows 17-20.
Tie in loose ends, taking care to keep the shape of the heart. Cover with a damp cloth and lightly press with a warm iron. Do not press too hard, or the stitch detail will be lost.
Using the cotton and a needle, decorate with beads.
Your heart is now ready for use. I use a few dabs of a strong glue to stick it to a card.
