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.

Knitted Hearts and Flowers Bunting

So many of you have requested a knitted version of the Hearts & Flowers Bunting - hope you like it.

Knitted Hearts and Flowers Bunting

 

 

I made these with DK (8ply) yarn and 4mm needles -  

(but you could use a thicker or thinner weight of yarn and the appropriate size of needles) - to achieve bigger or smaller motifs.

 

 

Make as many hearts and flowers as you like

and thread them onto a length of wool or fine cord.
