I hope she likes my gift.

Lacy Heart

 It is St. Valentine's Day, so I thought it was a perfect time to share this sweet little heart square.


Little Lacy Heart Square

Knitted with DK yarn and 4mm needles, this motif measures a little less than 4"

DK seems to vary quite a bit!  ~ this one measures 3¾" square.
