Three knitting patterns for three different styles (and skill levels) of colourworked hearts- spotty, stripy, and snowflake.

A lovely step-by-step introduction to colourwork knitting, these patterns are suitable for knitters who know the basics and can cast on, cast off, knit, purl and work increasing and decreasing stitches.
The pattern takes you through every stage of knitting and making up these decorations from the simple stripes to the more detailed spots and snowflake motifs.

If you enjoy colourful quick knits for gifts or craft markets then this pattern set is definitely for you- and you can use any dk yarn you have in your stash to make them.

These decorations are worked from small amounts of yarn and look lovely decorating the Christmas tree or just hanging against a wall. They’re sure to be treasured decorations year after year.

To knit these hearts you’ll just need yarn, a pair of straight 3mm knitting needles, a little toy stuffing and a darning needle.
Hearts measure 12cm tall when completed.
