This is the laziest way to knit heart ornaments I could think of. They are knit bottom-up in the round and there is only one loose end to sew in for finishing. Knit it in any yarn of your choice, but make sure your tension is tight enough to hide the fibre fill. Due to the construction, this pattern is perfect for gradient yarns as the yarn is not cut before the upper edges are grafted together.

Techniques used in this pattern:

  • knitting in the round
  • Judy’s magic cast on
  • magic loop
  • increasing
  • short rows
  • grafting (kitchener stitch)
