The Heart Loop continues all the way to the top, creating a lovely, cosy look. The pattern is easier than it looks and fun to knit. You can even add a pompom if you like!

A video tutorial is included so you can see the needle movements clearly.

For a substitute yarn, I recommend using a blown yarn.
