Mini Heart

Mini Heart

Today I’m going to show you how to do this mini heart.

Valentine’s day is coming! If you need an idea here's one of my favorites: it's very easy to do. This heart uses the most basic techniques of knitting; casting on casting off, increasing and decreasing. Keep a careful count of which row you are on, because you don’t have to lose the pattern.

Also, you can find my pattern in Ravelry
