Each heart is knit from the bottom to the top in the round. You work increases all the way up, divide the top of the heart in two, and work decreases on each side to shape each bump. I made my garland with 8 feet of cream colored baker’s twine and 8 hearts per garland. You can make yours as short or as long as you want, with as many hearts as you want!

Materials:
Each heart takes 10 yards worsted weight yarn
US #5/ 3.75mm DPNs or long circular needle for magic loop
Darning needle
Stitch marker
Stitch holder
Fiberfill
Baker’s twine

Heart Size:
Hearts are about 2.75” wide and 2” tall.
