Free pattern: Heart Pendant   Yarn: Alchemy Yarns Bamboo   Needles: US#2

I observance of Valentine's Day, I wanted to show my love to all of you folks who drop by my blog every now and then.  I thank you all for showing interest in my little blog.  If you are so inclined to knit up a little heart, here's my version.  It worked in a modular way with a larger mitered triangle at the bottom and 2 smaller garter stitch triangles worked at the top.  I stuffed mine with yarn scraps but you may want to put something like a scented sachet inside it instead.  You could tuck it into a backpack, lunch box or underwear drawer of someone you love and is dear to you.  Use it to decorate a special gift.  Or you can string up your heart and wear it as a pendant, like I did.  I even added a little charm thingy.

I used a scrap of yarn that I had leftover from a scarf project for my featured heart version.  I didn't measure out exactly how much yarn I used so I estimated that approximately 30 yards would be needed but it could be less.  Using the yarn shown above, the finished size is a little smaller than 2 1/2" all around.  Try something you already have on hand that you've been saving as a "someday, I'll figure out what to do with this stuff" yarn.  I made these two partial hearts with an angora blend and a DK cotton:

Go on, get creative!  Then start sharing your heart with others.
